‘Emmy Sizzle’ strikes again; Onaway jun-
ior hurler was high-powered weapon for
Cardinals, recording 14 shutouts
By Mike Dunn
ONAWAY – Once again in
2012, the Onaway softball
team of coach Jodi
Brewbaker established itself
as one of the premier
Division 4 programs in the
state. And once again, it was
Emmy Sizzle leading the way.
Junior hurler Emily Estep –
also known as “Emmy Sizzle”
for obvious reasons – had
another super season for the
Cardinals, helping her team
to post a 26-5 record, includ-
ing a perfect 16-0 mark in the
Ski Valley as the Cardinals
repeated as league champs
for the seventh time.
Onaway was going for its
sixth-straight district cham-
pionship but got derailed in
the championship game by
Rogers City in a tense 4-3
defeat.
It was a disappointing end
to another very good season
for the Cardinals. There was
nothing disappointing, how-
ever, in Estep’s junior season.
Emmy picked up 14
shutouts this season with
had an earned run average
that could only be viewed
through a microscope. Along
with her miniscule 0.67 ERA,
Emmy also notched a whop-
ping 247 strikeouts to break
her own school record of 171
the year before. She was also
as accurate as the times
tables, walking just 26 during
the season.
She also batted an even
.400 for the year and scored
39 runs.
Her efforts did not go
unnoticed. Emmy was All-
Conference for the third
straight year along with
repeating as All-District, All-
Region and All-State. She is
also the Top Choice Player of
the Year in softball for the
third straight time.
Emmy shared the honor
with teammate Amanda
Pomranke in 2010 and won
the honor individually in
2011 as well as this year.
Richard Dickerson of
Mancelona is our 2012 Coach
of the Year with Brewbaker of
Onaway and Mike Barber of
Cheboygan as part of the All-
Area coaching staff.
Joining Estep on the 2012
All-Area Dream Team is her
twin sister Megan, who is
also a three-year starter for
Brewbaker at second base.
Megan had a tremendous
season in her own right,
being named first-team All-
State. Junior catcher Sam
Brasseur, who earned honor-
able mention All-State along
with Emmy, is also a repeat
member of the Dream Team.
Other players on the
Dream Team include junior
pitcher Kallie Derrer of
Mancelona; senior Benita
Reiter of Cheboygan and
Brasseur as catchers; senior
Molly Cleaver of Onaway and
senior Karli Jacob of Gaylord
St. Mary as first basemen;
seniors Tori Thompson and
Kristen Espinoza of Petoskey,
sophomore Dakota Derrer of
Mancelona, senior Katie
Litzner of Cheboygan and
sophomore Meagan Malm of
Grayling as infielders along
with Megan Estep; junior
Jenna Proctor of Petoskey,
senior Sam Freel of Onaway
and speedy sophomore
Sydney McKenney of
Johannesburg-Lewiston as
outfielders.
Thompson also had a sen-
sational year for the
Northmen, earning first-
team All-State honors in
Division 2. Derrer, a two-year
starter at shortstop for the
Lady Ironmen, established a
new state record with 20
triples this season and tied a
national record.
Brewbaker, who has either
been Coach of the Year or
part of the All-Area coaching
staff for five straight years, is
not surprised at the success
Emmy has enjoyed in the
pitching circle.
“She definitely has a love
for the game,” Brewbaker
said. “Not only does she
enjoy playing but she enjoys
learning and watching. She
likes to break the game
down. She’s very dedicated.”
For her part, Emmy felt she
was more prepared for her
junior season as No. 1 pitcher
than she was the year before.
“I worked really hard to get
ready and felt prepared this
year,” she said this week in a
phone interview. “We all felt
coming in that this was our
year. We wanted to go back to
Battle Creek (in the Final
Four) and I wanted to help us
get there.”
Emmy, who has taken on
more of her Emmy Sizzle per-
sona from the pitching rub-
ber over time, did not view
herself as a strikeout pitcher
before this season. She still
doesn’t but the numbers
don’t lie.
“I think the biggest thing
this year is that I really tried
to stay focused against every-
body we played,” she said. “I
concentrated more and that
led to more strikeouts. I defi-
nitely didn’t expect to have so
many, though.”
Estep gives a lot of credit to
the chemistry she and
Brasseur have between them
as the Cardinal battery. The
two have been linked togeth-
er on the softball diamond
since they were toddlers.
Onaway won three straight
district titles in Little League
with Emmy pitching and
Sam catching or vice versa.
That success has continued
through three years of high
school with one more to go.
“Sam is so great to work
with,” Emmy said. “She
knows me like a book. The
last two years, she called my
game and that took a lot of
pressure of me and just let
me focus on pitching. I could
never thank her enough for
taking that responsibility.”
“Emmy and Sam know
each other so well,”
Brewbaker said. “They’ve
been a pitcher-catcher duo
since Little League. They’re
always communicating on
the field. They can sense
what the other needs. It
makes them both better
players.”
Another thing that makes
Estep so effective as a pitcher
is her uncanny ability to mix
her pitches with lethal effi-
ciency. Her pitching arsenal
is one reason she has spiked
her strikeout total so much
this year.
“Emmy has a nice mixture
of pitchers and she knows
how to keep the batter guess-
ing,” Brewbaker noted.
Estep also points to the
fact that she has such a
strong defensive team
behind her.
“I don’t even try for strike-
outs; my mission is to keep it
in the park and let the
defense do the job,” she said.
“I always feel like if they hit
the ball, the girls behind me
will make the out. It’s such a
blessing as a pitcher to know
you have that kind of help. It
gives me a lot of confidence.”
Her twin sister Megan is
one of those big defensive
stoppers at second base.
Emmy is very pleased Megan
got the All-State recognition

Top Choice Softball
In fifth year at helm, he guided Lady Ironmen to
first district title in school history
By Mike Dunn
MANCELONA – The
Mancelona softball team of
coach Richard Dickerson did
something this season that
had never been done before.
The Lady Ironmen captured
the first district champi-
onship in school history.
Dickerson, in his fifth year
at the helm of the program,
guided his team to a 25-8
record and a runner-up fin-
ish in the rugged Ski Valley in
addition to a berth in the
Division 3 regional tourna-
ment.
For his efforts, Dickerson
was named the Top Choice
2012 Coach of the Year. The
rest of the 2012 coaching staff
includes Jodi Brewbaker of
Onaway and Mike Barber of
Cheboygan.
“I was very proud of what
we did this year, very proud
of my coaching staff and very
proud of the girls,” said
Dickerson, a retired GM
worker who moved to the
Mancelona area with his wife
after retiring in 2000. “The
girls earned it this year.
Nothing was given to them;
they earned everything they
got.”
Junior hurler Kallie Derrer
had another sensational sea-
son in her third year as the
Mancelona starter, accumu-
lating a whopping 216 strike-
outs while earning All-
Conference, All-District and
All-Region recognition. Kallie
is also a member of the 2012
All-Area Dream Team along
with sweet-swinging sopho-
more shortstop Dakota
Derrer, who established a
state record for triples this
season.
Senior catcher Ashley
Derrer and senior third base-
man Meike Scaggs were sec-
ond team All-Area selections
while senior outfielders
Miranda Boucard and Karyn
Vanderploeg were honorable
mention.
Dickerson believed his
team had the mettle and the
talent to have a successful
campaign in 2012.
“When we first started the
season, I told the kids not to
worry about how many
games we were going to win;
just play one game at a time,”
Dickerson said. “Don’t worry
about next week; just play
this game right here.
Everything else will take care
of itself.”
Mancelona actually got off
to a rough start, losing a pair
of games to perennial confer-
ence champion Onaway. But
the Ironmen bounced back
quickly from those early set-
backs and started on a jour-
ney that would take them to a
level in the playoffs they
never reached before.
“Our goal was to win the
conference and the district,”
he said. “Then we started the
season getting beat up by
Onaway in the first two
games. It was tough. I told
the kids to keep believing in
themselves and let’s improve
with each game. The girls
responded. They shook it off
and you could see them
working toward that goal.”
Dickerson and assistant
coaches Tim Wilks and Dave
Derrer encouraged the girls
that they could compete with
anybody.
“We told them it’s up to
you,” Dickerson said. “We
dropped a couple games we
should have won but they
didn’t bow their heads. That’s
one thing that really
impressed me. The girls
always came back that much
harder after a loss.”
The performance of Kallie
from the pitching circle was a
big factor.
“That young lady is always
wanting to improve every
time she goes out there,”
Dickerson said. “She wants to
improve herself at all levels.
She was the main plug for us
this year. She showed a lot of
poise. She never got rattled.
Without her on the mound,
we wouldn’t have done near-
ly as well.”
Dickerson also noted the
way slugging senior catcher
Ashley Derrer exhibited lead-
ership and how her work
behind the plate helped
Kallie game in and game out.
The coach is also
impressed with Dakota
Derrer’s knowledge of soft-
ball at this point in her young
prep career. She’s already
very good, he said, but she’s
going to be even better as she
grows and gains experience.
The biggest thrill of the
season was winning the dis-
trict title at East Jordan. The
Ironmen defeated Charlevoix
3-0 in the semifinals and
then edged Boyne City 2-1 in
the finals.
“It was what we worked
toward all year,” Dickerson
said. “I told the girls they
were beatable. If you go out
there and perform the way
you’re capable of, we’ll win.
Kallie pitched a pair of great
games. All the girls executed
the plays.
“It was a tremendous feel-
ing. It was the first district in
softball for the school. The
last four or five seasons, we
had a good amount of suc-
cess but we never won dis-
tricts before and now we did.
It was great for the girls, for
the parents and for the whole
community.”
Mancelona faced Traverse
City St. Francis in the region-
al tournament at Charlevoix
and lost a 4-3 heartbreaker.
“We showed up and played
well,” he said. “I told the girls
just to go out and play hard
and have fun. When the
game’s over with, if you’re on
top, that’s fine. If not, don’t
hang your head. I don’t care if
we lose as long as we do our
best.”
Dickerson said playing in
the regional tournament was
a great experience and one
he wants to see the girls build
on for next year.
“They know what it takes
now to get to that level,” he
said.
Dickerson will miss seniors
Miranda Boucard, Kaitlyn
Bielecki, Meike Scaggs, Karen
Vanderploeg and Ashley
Derrer and wishes them well
in their future endeavors.
“Those seniors con-
tributed a lot,” he said. “We’ll
definitely miss them but we
have some good potential
coming up through the JV.
We’re going to be all right
next year.”
Richard Dickerson guided Mancelona to 25 wins this
season and the first district title in school history.

GAYLORD – Three players
from the Johannesburg-
Lewiston baseball team were
named to the first team All-
State roster in Division 4 by
the Michigan High School
Baseball Coaches
Association.
Seniors Gunnar Owens,
Brian VanCoillie and Brett
Kortman all made the grade
after playing key roles in
helping the Cardinals of Hall
of Fame Coach Rick Guild
earn a school-record 32 wins
and advance to the regional
semifinals.
Senior Craig Conway and
junior Wyatt Derrer of
Mancelona were second
team picks in Div. 3 and sen-
ior Tod Rondo of Mio was
second team in Div. 4.
Owens was chosen as a
pitcher but he was also one
of the top catchers in north-
ern Michigan this season.
The hard-throwing right-
hander was 12-1 for the
Cardinals with 101 strikeouts
and just 22 walks in 78 1-3
innings. He posted a minis-
cule 0.92 ERA and also had
two saves.
Owens also played smash
and crash with the bat in his
hands, posting a .432 average
with 38 RBIs to go with 30
runs and a whopping 30
steals.
VanCoillie played center
field and pitched for J-L and
Kortman was chosen as an
infielder. VanCoillie and
Kortman both batted above
.500 for the season.
VanCoillie cranked out a .517
average with 62 steals and 40
RBIs and was one of the top
defensive outfielders in the
state. Kortman crushed the
ball all season, earning a .530
average with 52 steals to go
with 44 RBIs and an amazing
48 runs scored.
Conway, the Weekly
Choice Player of the Year in
baseball, posted a 14-2
record on the hill for the
Ironmen with a 1.79 ERA and
118 strikeouts. He also
slugged the ball with author-
ity and consistency, earning a
.443 average with 34 RBIs and
27 runs scored while helping
the Ironmen to repeat as Ski
Valley, district and regional
champs and to make their
first appearance in the Final
Four at Battle Creek.
Derrer was a like Death
Valley out in center field for
opposing hitters this season,
using his speed to track down
enemy fly balls. Derrer also
drilled the ball, hitting above
.400 and stealing everything
on the base paths than wasn’t
pinned down. Derrer also
delivered clutch hits
throughout the season,
including the two-out RBI
double that tied the quarter-
final game against Newaygo
1-1 in the sixth.
Rondo, the rocking right-
hander for the Thunderbolts,
earned his spot on the All-
State roster as an infielder
but he was also the ace of the
Mio staff, posting a 13-3
record with a 0.67 ERA and
five shutouts. He generated
118 K’s and 15 walks. He also
batted .484 with 21 RBIs and
28 runs scored.
GAYLORD – Gaylord senior
Alex Dombrowski was select-
ed to be a member of the
prestigious Super Team in
golf for 2012. Dombrowski
had a phenomenal senior
campaign, finishing in first or
tied for first in seven of 15
tournaments in addition to
being second four times and
twice coming in third.
He was a returning first-
team All-State player for the
Blue Devils of coach Tom
Johnson.
“For Alex to be selected to
the Super Team is a true cred-
it to how special this past
season has been for him,”
Johnson said.
The Super Team features
the top 9 in the state from all
divisions. The Super Team
also includes the 2012 Mr.
Golf, junior Sam Whitehead
of Grand Rapids West
Catholic.
Alex also made the
Academic All-State team. His
combined ACT score and
GPA placed him 11th among
all seniors in the state.
The Gaylord team just
missed out on Academic All-
State. The Blue Devils needed
a GPA average of 3.5 for the
athletes who went to the
regional tournament. Those
five players – senior Alex
Dombrowski, junior Anthony
Tomaski, junior Nick Fennell,
freshman Cam Laug and
freshman Mike Misiak – fell
just short with a 3.47 GPA.
“It shows that the boys
understand the big picture,”
Johnson said.

Gaylord. This year marks the
32nd anniversary of the pop-
ular triathlon, which was
started in 1981 by Dr. Dennis

as a loving tribute to their son
Mark, who was 16 and a
standout scholar-athlete at
St. Mary when he was tragi-
cally killed in a motorcycle
accident.
The traditional Olympic
Triathlon event features a 1K
swim, 40K bike and 10K run

40-44, 45-49, 50-54, 55-59,
60-64, 65-69, 70-plus.
Prize money for the
Olympic distance races is
$200 each for the male and
female champion; $100 for
second place and $50 for
third place. There is over
$1,000 in raffle giveaways as
well.
The entry fee is $65 for the
Olympic race, $55 for the
Sprint event, and $25 for the
5K race. The fee goes up $10
on the day of the race. All

tion is $125 and the Sprint
relay entry fee is $105. Two-

The annual Mark Mellon Triathlon kicks off
Saturday morning at Otsego Lake County Park.
Mellon Triathlon set for Saturday
GRAYLING -- The Hartwick
Pines Logging Museum will
host popular folk musician
Neil Woodward at its second
annual "Music at the
Museum" event on Saturday,
July 14, at 7 p.m. Woodward
will present music about
lumberjacks and other par-
ticipants in Michigan's histo-
ry in this one-hour concert.
Woodward was officially
recognized by the Michigan
Legislature in 2003 as
Michigan's Troubadour for
his lifelong commitment to
the preservation of Great
Lakes folk music and culture.
For more than 30 years, he
has shared folk music's
warmth and wisdom with
Great Lakes audiences. This
will be Woodward's first
appearance at Hartwick
Pines.
ArtServe Michigan has rec-
ognized Woodward's compo-
sitions as continuing contri-
butions to the troubadour's
tradition, an artistic chroni-
cle of significant individuals
and events. His traditional
recordings are catalogued by
the Library of Congress
Office of Folklife, and by the
Library of Michigan and the
Archives of Michigan.
Woodward will perform
outdoors at the Logging
Museum Amphitheater. In
the event of poor weather,
the concert will be moved
inside to the Michigan Forest
Visitor Center. For more
information, please call the
Michigan Forest Visitor
Center at 989-348-2537 or
email Rob Burg at
[email protected].
The logging museum is
located within Hartwick
Pines State Park, 8 miles
northeast of Grayling on M-
93. For more information, go
to www.michigan.gov/log-
gingmuseum.
There is no cost for this
concert; however, a
Recreation Passport is
required for park entry. The
Recreation Passport is an
easy, affordable way for resi-
dents to enjoy and support
outdoor recreation opportu-
nities in Michigan. By check-
ing "YES" for the $10
Recreation Passport ($5 for
motorcycles) when renewing
a license plate through the
Secretary of State (by mail,
kiosk, online at
www.expresssos.com or at
branch offices), Michigan
motorists get access to state
parks, recreation areas, state
forest campgrounds, nonmo-
torized state trailhead park-
ing and state boat launches.
In addition, Recreation
Passport holders can enjoy
real savings at businesses
and retailers that participate
in the Passport Perks dis-
count program. The
Recreation Passport is valid
until the next license plate
renewal date. Nonresidents
can purchase the Recreation
Passport ($29 annual; $8
daily) at any state park or
recreation area or through
the Michigan e-Store at
www.michigan.gov/estore.

ative way of sustaining
Michigan's outdoor recre-

GAYLORD -- As residents
and out-of-state visitors pre-
pare to camp, bike and hike
throughout Michigan over
the Fourth of July holiday
season, Department of
Natural Resources officials
warn that wildfire danger will
vary greatly in different areas
of the state and urge caution
and common sense, accord-
ingly, with fireworks and
campfires.
Summer heat and incon-
sistent rainfall in the past
month have pushed parts of
Michigan into emerging
drought conditions in the
south, while portions of the
northern regions have
received some beneficial
moisture - temporarily mod-
erating what has already
been a severe fire season.
So far this year, the DNR
has responded to 339 fires
that have burned a total of
23,122 acres - including the
recent 21,069-acre Duck Lake
Fire in the eastern Upper
Peninsula.
"Anytime the weather is
consistently hot and dry dur-
ing a holiday period, there is
a potential for wildfires," said
Bill O'Neill, acting chief of
the DNR's Forest Resources
Division. "With so many visi-
tors in the woodlands and
campgrounds, the chances of
a wildfire igniting greatly
increase."
Forecasts from the
National Weather Service
back up the DNR's concerns.
Although a slight cold front is
expected to move through
Thursday night into Friday
morning, with a chance of
storms, the coverage and
amounts will be quite limit-
ed. At this time, the National
Weather Service does not see
a significant chance of bene-
ficial rains through the next
10 days in Michigan.
The DNR's O'Neill urged
Michigan citizens and visi-
tors to be extremely careful
when handling fireworks and
outdoor fires. He offered the
following reminders:
* Remember that con-
sumer fireworks that explode
or fly into the air, when
improperly used, are the
cause of many wildfires each
year. These types of fireworks
can now be purchased in
Michigan.
* Be aware that fireworks
will easily ignite grass or
wooded areas and should
only be lit in areas free of veg-
etation.
* Understand that setting
off fireworks on public prop-
erty is prohibited without
proper authorization.
* Keep campfires small and
do not leave them unattend-
ed at any time, for any rea-
son.
* Be certain all fires and
barbeques are completely
extinguished. Use plenty of
water, stir and add more
water until everything is wet
and no steam is produced.
* Turn over unburned
pieces of wood left in a fire
pit and wet the underside.
* Soak unburned pieces of
BBQ charcoal in a bucket of
water before disposing of
them.
* Do not simply cover a
campfire with soil. This is an
inadequate way to put a fire
out, disguises the heat smol-
dering beneath and often
becomes a hazard for anyone
that may accidentally step in
the coals.
"We are heading into our
toughest season, with pro-
longed periods of very warm
to hot temperatures and
minimal rainfall," said
O'Neill. "I am asking every-
one who plans to be out-
doors enjoying our beautiful
state this summer to be vigi-
lant about protecting it, too.
Be smart, be safe and, please,
be caretakers of Michigan's
outdoor spaces."
Those interested in check-
ing on the status of dry con-
ditions in Michigan and
other parts of the country
can check the National
Drought Mitigation Center's
drought monitor website at
http://droughtmonitor.unl.e
du/.

gestions for wildfire preven-
tion, visit the DNR's website

ventwildfires.

of Natural Resources is com-
mitted to the conservation,
protection, management,
use and enjoyment of the

resources for current and

she deserved.
“I was so happy for
Megan; she’s definitely
deserving of that,” Emmy
said. “I give her a lot of
credit. It’s pretty awesome.”
Emmy, the daughter of
Dean and Joey Estep of
Onaway, is already looking
forward to her senior year.
“In some ways, it’ll be a
rebuilding year because we
lost a lot of good players
and super leaders to gradu-
ation,” she said. “The girls
all know we have some
shoes to fill but we also
know we’re very capable of
making another run.”
Looking beyond her sen-
ior year, Emmy is anticipat-
ing the wonderful chal-
lenge of playing college
ball. She is gaining looks
from different colleges but
it’s too early in the game to
determine where she might
be going. She had a lot of
exposure in the annual
Compuware Tournament
in early June and a number
of coaches and scouts got
to see her stuff.
“I’ll have to wait and see
what’s out there and where
the best offers are,” she
said.
This summer, she is play-
ing on the 18U travel team
of the Vulcans where she
will have the chance to
hone her game against out-
standing competition
throughout the state and
gain even more exposure.

Key
Areas
to
Pay
Attention to
When Buying
a Home
Compliments of Ed Wohlfiel
You may save money in the
long run
Looking for a new home can be
exciting and frustrating. You can
help alleviate the frustration by
paying close attention to five key
areas of the homes you're con-
sidering buying; it may save you
money in the long run.
Don Walker is an inspector and
owner of Ace Home Inspections.
He says there are five areas in
homes that he frequently reports
problems with. They are electri-
cal, foundation, plumbing, the
attic, and landscaping.
Tip # 4 - Attic
"You can tell everything about
the house by the attic," says
Walker. He says other areas of the
home can be covered up if a
repair had occurred. For
instance, if there was a leak and it
damaged a wall, with the right
contractors and repairs it can be
made to look like new and, hope-
fully, function like new. But
Walker says the attic is sort of the
eyes to the soul of the home. "In
the attic you can tell where all the
damage has been," says Walker.
"If you're in a 20-year-old
house and you see that the insu-
lation is brand new, you know
that there was a water leak
because it had to be replaced,"
says Walker. He adds, "You can
tell if the roof is good because
you can look right at the wood."
