Weekly Choice - Section B - July 26, 2012

Good things have been happening this summer for the Gaylord Little League All-Stars. Great
things, actually. First, the Gaylord 11-12 All-Stars captured the District 8 championship. Then the
younger guys had their shot and they did the same! The Gaylord 10-11 All-Stars competed in the
District 8 championship at West Branch and pounded out an impressive 9-1 victory over
Traverse City Central. Gaylord advanced to the state tournament, which is also being played at
West Branch starting this Friday, July 27. These excellent images by Gaylord’s own Hall of Fame
photographer Rob DeForge depict some of the action and raw emotion in a way only Rob can
do.

GRAYLING – The field
won’t be quite as big when
the 65th annual AuSable
River Canoe Marathon kicks
off Saturday night at 9 with
the traditional LeMans-style
start at the Old AuSable
Canoe Livery, but it appears
the competition for the top
spot will be quite intense.
There are 72 two-person
teams registered to take part
in the 2012 marathon race
which extends 120 miles
from Grayling to Oscoda
along the winding contours
of the AuSable River. Though
the number is down from a
record field of 92 a year ago,
race spokesman Phil Weiler
said the field is rich with tal-
ent.
“It’s one of those years
where some of the teams that
normally compete had wed-
dings or other obligations
and couldn’t make it,” Weiler
said. “Some of those who
aren’t here this year will be
back next year. The good
news is that we have a great
field with 72 teams entered.
Our defending champs are
back with us but they’ll be
facing a very tough group of
challengers.”
Five-time winners and
four-time defending champs
Andrew Triebold and Steve
LaJoie won the race last year
in 14 hours, 41 minutes.
Triebold, 36, of Grayling and
LaJoie, 36, of Mirabel,
Quebec paddled to the finish
17 minutes ahead of the
brother tandem of Rodney
and Ryan Halstead of
Grayling, who were runners-
up in 14:58:32. The team of
Josh Sheldon and Steve
Kolonich were close behind
in third (15:01:22).
Ryan Halstead, 25, has
joined with the 30-year-old
Sheldon to form a team con-
sidered to be one of the top
contenders going into
Saturday’s race.
One of the top East Coast
duos from last year, fifth-
place finishers Mike
Schlimmer, 25, and Ben
Schlimmer, 23, of Cortland,
New York, are back for their
fifth marathon race. Two
strong Indiana racers, 48-
year-old Matt Strieb of Bristol
and Matt Meersman, 35, of
South Bend, are teaming this
year, as are veteran racers
Steve Corlew, 31, of Grayling
and Bill Torongo, 50, of
Roscommon. This will be
Torongo’s 28th marathon
race.
Other strong contenders
include Jason Hatfield, 34, of
Grayling and Colin Hunter,
31, of Grayling; Nick Walton,
39, of Eaton Rapids and Matt
Rudnitsky, 25, of East
Rochester, N.Y.; and Ted
Smutek, 44, of Luzerne and
Pete Mead, 31, of Traverse
City. The strong duo of Mo
Harwood, 33, of Grayling and
Erich Padjaske, 30, of
Grayling was the last team to
enter this year but could be
at or near the top on Sunday.
This is Harwood’s 14th race
and the eighth for Podjaske.
It was not certain at the
time of this writing on
Tuesday just how much of a
factor the hot, dry weather
would have on the 2012 race.
The weather forecast was
promising, calling for rain,
heavy at times, in the days
leading up to the race. If the
projected rains came, it will
raise the water levels of the
river and help all the pad-
dlers. If the rain didn’t come,
though, the low water will
make the marathon race just
that much tougher.
Weiler said in a phone
interview Tuesday that the
water level was “crazy low”
and everybody was praying
for rain.
“The lower water definitely
makes it more of a challenge
for the racers,” he said. “My
youngest son (Austin) is
doing the race for the first
time this year with Ross
Teeple and they were going
along Sunday during the
Spikes Challenge and hit a
log just above McMasters
(Bridge). They were going
along and all of a sudden,
‘Bam!’ there’s the log. The log
wasn’t there before but it
became exposed because the
water went down. Those are
the kinds of unknowns the
paddlers face with the low
water.”
Weiler said the racers will
stick to the middle of the
river as much as possible in
the early going and bide their
time until they reach
McMasters Bridge and the
water gets a little deeper.
The early portion of the
race will be crucial for some
of the racers, he added.
“You can’t win the race in
the first three hours but you
can darn sure lose it,” he
said. “You run your tail off to
get into the river and then
you have to set down and
scale back about 50 percent
so you don’t waste all your
energy. There won’t be a lot of
passing until Burton’s
Landing so you have to settle
in and let the river dictate
your strategy.”
With a field that includes
just seven pure rookie teams
(where both are first-time
paddlers), Weiler doesn’t
expect to see a lot of bottle-
necks in the early going.
“You have 20 less boats
than last year and most of the
rookies are teamed with rac-
ers who’ve done it before, so I
don’t anticipate too many
problems at the start,” he
said. “It’ll be like merging on
a highway. Everybody should
get out of town all right.”
Weiler said Triebold and
LaJoie have to be favored to
take it again in spite of the
strong field this year.
“It’s like going up against
Jordan or Tiger Woods,” he
said. “Until you beat the best,
there’s that mindset that
they’re the champs and you
have to figure out a way to
beat them. When you watch
Andy and Steve paddle,
they’re in great shape and
they’re always in sync. You
know they’ve trained hard
and they’re ready. When they
get into the boat, you see it
get up and move.
“There’s a great group of
young paddlers coming up
and you know the torch will
be passed at some point. Will
this be the year? That
remains to be seen.”
The 2012 field includes
“Iron Man” Al Widing Sr. once
again. The legendary Widing,
who is 87 years young and
hails from Mio, missed the
2010 race but was back last
year and completed the race
with longtime partner Rick
Joy of Silverwood, finishing a
respectable 31st overall.
Widing will be teaming with
21-year-old Hailey McMahon
of Grayling this time around.
This will be Mr. Widing’s 40th
marathon race and the first
for young Hailey.

PETOSKEY -- The
Northwest Michigan chapter
of the Quality Deer
Management Association
(QDMA), in partnership with
Leelanau Whitetails, has
proposed new antler point
restrictions (APR) for the fol-
lowing 12 counties: Antrim,
Benzie, Charlevoix, Emmet,
Grand Traverse, Kalkaska,
Lake, Manistee, Mason,
Missaukee, Osceola and
Wexford.
This proposal seeks to
require that all antlered deer
harvested in the area have at
least three antler points on
one side. The statewide
requirement that hunters
taking two bucks must
ensure at least one of those
bucks has four or more
antler points on one side
would remain in place. The
proposed regulations would
be consistent with the cur-
rent restriction in Deer
Management Unit (DMU)
045, which is Leelanau
County. The restriction will
be considered for imple-
mentation starting with the
2013 deer season. Antlerless
deer regulations within the
proposed area would con-
tinue to be determined by
the Department of Natural
Resources (DNR).
The DNR supports the vol-
untary implementation of
APR on private land. Under
guidelines adopted by the
Natural Resources
Commission (NRC), manda-
tory regulations proposed by
sponsoring organizations
will be implemented only
where a clear majority of 66
percent support among
hunters in the proposed area
is documented. Support will
be determined by a DNR
survey mailed to a sample of
hunters who indicated on
the 2011 DNR deer harvest
survey that they hunted deer
in one of the 12 counties.
Surveys will be mailed start-
ing in August.
"The Northwest Michigan
chapter of the QDMA pro-
posal is our first since the
moratorium has been lift-
ed," said DNR deer biologist
Ashley Hippler. "We are
looking forward to seeing
how the majority of north-
western Michigan deer
hunters feel about antler
point restrictions."
The Northwest Michigan
chapter of the QDMA is
hosting local meetings to
answer questions and pro-
vide explanation. The next
meeting is scheduled for
Saturday, July 28, at 4 p.m. in
the Petoskey High School
auditorium. Meetings have
already been held in Benzie,
Kalkaska, Manistee, Mason
and Wexford counties.
Landowners in any of the 12
proposed counties who
would like to offer input on
the proposal may email
comments to DNR-
[email protected].
This is the last scheduled
meeting the Northwest
Michigan chapter of the
QDMA will be hosting.
Payment by the Northwest
Michigan chapter of the
QDMA will offset survey
costs incurred by this pro-
posal.
The NRC had placed a
moratorium on accepting
APR proposals in 2006, to
allow the DNR to assess
experiences with initial
guidelines which were
implemented in 1999. The
NRC assembled a stakehold-
er workgroup late in 2010 to
provide recommendations
regarding revisions to the
process. The DNR is now
evaluating proposals based
on recommendations from
this workgroup and other
modifications to increase
efficiency and cost-effective-
ness. The NRC retains full
authority over decisions to
implement APR and other
harvest regulations, but the
proposal review process pro-
vides valuable information
to inform those decisions.

MOUNT PLEASANT – The
Central Michigan men’s bas-
ketball program is offering the
best bang for your buck this
summer.
From August 1-3, CMU will
be running a “College
Exposure” basketball camp.
The camp is open to any boy
entering the sixth- through
twelfth-grade. The cost for the
camp is $249 for an overnight
camper and only $199 for a
commuter. This is by far the
lowest summer basketball
camp admissions fee con-
ducted by a university in the
state of Michigan.
The camp is designed to
prepare players to play at the
next level. An emphasis will be
placed on developing the
individual skills and knowl-
edge that will help players to
reach their full potential. A
daily camp will include work-
out stations, competitions,
games and video analysis.
To register, please go online
to www.cmuchippewas.com
/camps. Please call (989) 774-
1838 for more information.
CHEBOYGAN -- Cheboygan
State Park will sponsor its
fourth annual GO-Get
Outdoors triathlon on
Saturday, Aug. 25 at the park,
4490 Beach Road in
Cheboygan (Cheboygan
County). Registration begins
at 8 a.m. at the park head-
quarters. The race will begin
at 9 a.m. at the day use beach
area.

triathlon will involve kayaking
two miles, biking eight and
one-half miles, and running
four and one-half miles. A
portion of the running section
is located on the beach and
crosses Little Billy Elliot Creek.
Participants should expect to
get their feet wet near the end
of the competition.
"You don't need to be an
athlete to come out to the
park on race day," said
Cheboygan State Park super-
visor Paul Koszegi. "The day
use area is an excellent loca-
tion for spectators to watch
the start and finish of the race,
cheer on the competitors, or
just have a picnic and enjoy
the outdoors."
The entry fee for the com-
petition is $35 per athlete, or
$45 per team of two to three
athletes. Everyone is welcome
to participate, but the target
age group is 16 years old and
older. All proceeds will go to
support this event and future
events at Cheboygan State
Park. T-shirts will be provided
for those who pre-register by
Aug. 23 by calling 231-627-
2811.
For more information
about this event, accessibility,
or for persons needing
accommodations to attend

GRAYLING -- Michigan's
"lone" wolverine is now on dis-
play at the Hartwick Pines
Visitor Center. Jeff Ford of
Caro, a retired high school sci-
ence teacher who tracked,
photographed and videotaped
the only wild wolverine ever
confirmed in the state will
present a program on
Saturday, July 28, at noon and 3
p.m. and meet with the public
afterward.
Ford’s video footage aired on
the TV show Animal Planet in
2006 and on PBS Nature in
2010 on a show entitled
Wolverine: Chasing The
Phantom.
The wolverine was discov-
ered in the Thumb area in 2004
and roamed the Minden City
State Game area until its natu-
ral death in 2010. Originally
displayed for nearly a year at
the Saginaw Bay Visitor Center
at the Bay City Recreation
Area, the wolverine then went
to the Michigan Historical
Center where a secure case
and exhibit panels were creat-
ed.
Since early June 2012, the
exhibit has traveled to Thumb-
area venues and will continue
throughout the state before
settling back in at the Bay City
Recreation Area for the winter.
The display will remain at
Hartwick Pines until August
15. The visitor center is open
daily from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Visitors need a recreation
passport to drive into the park.
The exhibit features taxi-
dermy of the wolverine and
information about its time in
Michigan, as well as a look at
the wolverine in science and in
Michigan history. An animal
rarely seen in the wild, the
wolverine has drawn large,
curious crowds at each stop
along the tour.

As with most festivals, the
candy, snacks, and food are
plentiful. The smell of roast-
ed almonds and the sight of
kids with cotton candy are
synonymous with carnivals.
Alpenfest is no different. On
an overcast Saturday morn-
ing, before most people have
even gotten out of bed, a
large number of participants
from across northern
Michigan were gathered at
the pavilion to run, walk, or
sprint their way to the large
blown-up finish line com-
pleting the Alpenfest run.
There was an eclectic mix of
people who wanted to chal-
lenge themselves. Some of
Gaylord’s best cross country
runners showed up to
improve themselves for their
upcoming season. Charlend
Howard completed the 10k
trimming two minutes off his
last years finish. Kevin
Smith, also of Gaylord, domi-
nated the 5k for the second
year in a row with an almost
effortless stride that proved
to be unmatchable.
However, not everyone
came looking to compete.
For many, just completing
the run is what was most
important. It’s a common
theme for Alpenfest, the
unity of locals and non-locals
together. As every runner,
regardless of speed, neared
the finish line, they were
encouraged with yells of sup-
port from the spectators.
Even the runners themselves,
upon finishing their race,
would take time for a short
recovery before joining the
spectators in uplifting cheers
of support for their fellow
runners.
So congratulations to all
who participated. Whether
you ran, walked, or cheered,
it made for a fun, healthy way
to spend an overcast
Saturday morning.
Hundreds Participate in Alpenfest Run & Walk
Alpenfest Walk – 55 Walkers participated in the 10K and 5K walk. Familiar Gaylord walkers, Lori Reichard,

On Saturday, July 28, Music in Mackinaw’s
2012 summer concert season will feature
Whispers of the North, performing their
Gordon Lightfoot Tribute. The concert will
be held in the ROTH Performance Shell at
Conkling Heritage Park in Mackinaw City
beginning at 8:00pm.
If you have read Mike Fornes newspaper
work, heard him on the radio, seen him on
TV or read any of the three books he has
written, all whose subject matter feature
destinations in and around the Straits of
Mackinaw, you know and understand the
feelings and appreciation he has for the
Straits of Mackinac area. The woods, the
water and the wildlife blend with the North
Country music you’ll hear in concert. His
portrayal of Gordon Lightfoot is simply an
honest effort to entertain with an accurate
representation of a Lightfoot show. Mike’s
music takes him a long way from the worlds
of hockey and media where he usually lives.
His determination to utilize his musical tal-
ent and skills many years ago by creating the
Gordon Lightfoot Tribute Band has continu-
ally astounded audiences with their authen-
tic replication of the songs, styles and moods
of the Canadian singer-songwriter’s best!
Four talented musicians play the roles of
Gordon Lightfoot’s stage band, replicating
parts heard on recordings and in live per-
formance by Terry Clements (lead guitar),
Barry Keane (drums), Rick Haynes (bass) and
Michael Heffernan (keyboards).
Lead guitarist Todd Golnick is a detective
lieutenant with the Cadillac Police
Department, where he has also served as a
patrol officer, sergeant shift supervisor, K-9
officer, tactical team member and dive team
leader. Todd also officiates area hockey
games from youth levels to high school and
college. His guitar background is in blues
and rock ‘n roll.
John Riemer, bass guitarist, retired from a
music career that saw him serve for more
than 20 years as the Director of Jazz Guitar
Studies at Kalamazoo College and
Kalamazoo Community College. Originally
from Chicago, John grew up during the
height of the jazz era and performed,
instructed,
composed and
published dur-
ing a successful 50-year musical career. His
background is theater, stage, group, solo,
studio and garage.
The versatile Director of Music Ministry at
St. Mary/St. Charles Church in Cheboygan,
George Krawczyk has appeared in countless
musical productions on piano and organ
since his move to Northern Michigan after a
twenty-three year stint of playing and teach-
ing in the Flint and Ann Arbor areas. Besides
his superior work in religious music and
show tunes in local productions, Krawczyk
also enjoys playing in jazz and easy listening
roles. He annually partners to write a musi-
cal comedy for Cheboygan’s local summer
children’s theatre production.
After many years of playing in blues and
rock ‘n roll groups in Michigan, Colorado
and Florida, Chuck Kopp is excited to bring
his experience in drums and percussion to
“Whispers of the North”. Chuck has worked
as a realtor for his family’s Cheboygan real
estate company for the past 13 years. He
began drumming at an early age, first learn-
ing from his father who is also a drummer.
Music in Mackinaw concerts are held
every consecutive Saturday evening through
Labor Day week-end, always beginning at
8:00pm. Admission is free with seating on
the lawn. For those who can, it is suggested
to bring lawn chairs. However, chairs are
available for a modest donation.
These performances are made possible in
part by the Michigan Council for Arts and
Cultural Affairs and the Cheboygan Area Arts
Council, the Mackinaw City Chamber of
Commerce, Mackinaw Area Visitor’s Bureau,
Local Businesses and residents, and in coop-
eration with the Village of Mackinaw City.
Donations are accepted through the Straits
Area Community Foundation.

ensemble will be performing in
Pennsylvania Park. The ensemble is
comprised of students from around the
nation who spend their summer study-
ing with the master brass players of
Spectrum Brass. Take the time out to
enjoy this talented group of performers!
Wednesday, August 1 will be a fabu-
lous time for the kids with Robin lee
Berry and her ukulele! Robin’s website
mentions that she is “a native of
Michigan, started a professional career
in the folk clubs of East Lansing in the
late 1970's.A few years of touring with
small children brought her home to
northern Michigan to put some roots
down and perform, write music and
record creating three CD's. After 20
years of performing in clubs and festi-
vals Robin is currently recording in her
own home studio and raising children
while building exotic cedar furniture
with her husband through their com-
pany www.logartinc.com.”
Friday, August 3 Holly Keller and her
great musical group will be jammin’ in
the gazebo. Enjoy the experience of
this family of musicians!
Concerts take place in the gazebo in
Pennsylvania Park in downtown
Petoskey, with lawn or bench seating to

hour. In case of inclement weather,
concerts will be moved into the theatre
of the Crooked Tree Arts Center.

mately 2 blocks east of the Gazebo, on

THURSDAY: Luke 15:7-10 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 7 I tell you that in the same
way, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-
nine righteous persons who need no repentance. 8 “Or what woman, if she has ten sil-
ver coins and loses one coin, does not light a lamp and sweep the house and search
carefully until she finds it? 9 When she has found it, she calls together her friends and
neighbors, saying, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found the coin which I had lost!’ 10 In
the same way, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sin-
ner who repents.”
FRIDAY: John 16:19-21 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 19 Jesus knew that they wished
to question Him, and He said to them, “Are you deliberating together about this, that I
said, ‘A little while, and you will not see Me, and again a little while, and you will see
Me’? 20 Truly, truly, I say to you, that you will weep and lament, but the world will
rejoice; you will grieve, but your grief will be turned into joy. 21 Whenever a woman is
in labor she has pain, because her hour has come; but when she gives birth to the
child, she no longer remembers the anguish because of the joy that a child has been
born into the world.
SATURDAY: John 16:23-24 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 23 In that day you will not
question Me about anything. Truly, truly, I say to you, if you ask the Father for any-
thing in My name, He will give it to you. 24 Until now you have asked for nothing in
My name; ask and you will receive, so that your joy may be made full.
SUNDAY: Galatians 5:22 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is
love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
MONDAY: 2 Timothy 1:3-4 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 3 I thank God, whom I serve
with a clear conscience the way my forefathers did, as I constantly remember you in
my prayers night and day, 4 longing to see you, even as I recall your tears, so that I
may be filled with joy.
TUESDAY: 1 Peter 1:7-9 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 7 so that the proof of your
faith, being more precious than gold which is perishable, even though tested by fire,
may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ;
8 and though you have not seen Him, you love Him, and though you do not see Him
now, but believe in Him, you greatly rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory, 9
obtaining as the outcome of your faith the salvation of your souls.
WEDNESDAY: Jude 1:24-25 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 24 Now to Him who is
able to keep you from stumbling, and to make you stand in the presence of His glory
blameless with great joy, 25 to the only God our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord,
be glory, majesty, dominion and authority, before all time and now and forever. Amen.

True joy only comes from God.
Bob Johnson, Petoskey
Joy means many different things to people. The dictionary defines joy as "the emo-
tion evoked by well-being, success, or good fortune or by the prospect of possessing
what one desires." (Merriam-Webster). It can mean the happiness found in family,
career satisfaction and goal attainment, acquisition of material goods, societal status,
all of which are examples of the human experience of daily living. The lasting happi-
ness that is sought through the things of the world does not really satisfy, as all of these
things can be effected by unexpected change. Family can be disrupted by divorce or ill-
ness, careers are at the mercy of economic changes on a local, national, and global level.
An attained goal may no longer be relevant in future years. The acquisition of materi-
al goods and achievement of societal status can disappear in a heartbeat. Putting ones
trust in the temporary things of the world is indeed risky business. Someday these
things will pass away as they are things of the earth and not of the eternal.
What brings me joy? The joy of the Lord! The joy of the Lord brings to us a last-
ing and fulfilling joy because it is based on the eternal truth of a holy God. Blog author
Mike Ratliff (Wordpress.com) states it this way: "Joy is both an outcome of our rela-
tionship with the Lord and our source of strength for our obedience to Him (context
from John 15 and Nehemiah 8:9)." The Bible tells us more about true joy. There is joy
when one person repents than at any other time (Luke 15:7); the confidence of being
saved brings joy (Habakkuk 3:18, Psalm 51:12); and joy is a fruit of the Spirit of God
(Galatians 5:22).
You can see from this list that the source of true and eternal joy lay in our salvation
and our ongoing relationship with God. Your search for true joy will not be found in
yourself, your talents, or your worldly success or possessions. Give up reliance on the
temporary joys of this earthly life and rely on Jesus Christ, the Son of God. He will give
you a heart and soul full of joy that will sustain you for eternity.

Hot dry weather continues to plague much
of the country including right here in south-
eastern Wisconsin. Keeping lawns and land-
scapes alive and well has been a struggle for
many gardeners. Here are a few ways to help
your landscape through this challenging sea-
son:
Prioritize watering. New plantings, mois-
ture lovers, and stressed plants should be the
first to receive a good long drink.
Give mature trees a hand. Even these
landscape giants need water during drought.
Soak the area under the dripline providing
10 gallons of water per inch diameter of tree
trunk.
Mulch the soil. Spread a two to three inch
layer of woodchips, bark, shredded leaves,
evergreen needles or other organic matter
over the soil surface surrounding plants. It
conserves water, keeps roots cooler, sup-
presses weeds, and improves the soil as it
decomposes.
Dormant lawns should remain dormant.
Taking your lawn in and out of dormancy
with inconsistent watering is harder on the
lawns than dormancy. Providing ¼ inch of
water once a month will help keep the crown
of the grass alive without breaking dorman-
cy.
Minimize foot and equipment traffic on
dormant lawns and do not treat with pesti-
cides or fast release high nitrogen fertilizers
that can damage a dormant lawn.
Check container gardens at least once a
day and more often during extreme heat.
Move planters to a bit more shade to slow
drying, reduce risk of scorch and heat stress.
Use water wisely. Water early in day when
possible to reduce moisture loss to evapora-
tion. Use soaker hoses and drip irrigation
whenever possible. You’ll use less water by
applying it right to the soil where it is need-
ed. And always water thoroughly and less
frequently to encourage plants to develop
deeper more drought tolerant roots. For

Add a little extra color and motion to
your summer garden with containers
designed to attract birds and butterflies.
Many garden centers continue to sell
annuals throughout the summer and
many of these mid-season annuals are a
bit bigger, providing instant impact.
It’s easier than you think to attract
birds and butterflies and the good news
is you don’t need a lot of space to do it.
Container gardens give you the ability to
attract wildlife to your backyard, patio,
deck or even balcony. Simply follow
these four steps and your garden will be
filled with color, motion and a season of
wildlife.
1- Provide food for birds and but-
terflies. Include plants with flat daisy-
like flowers like pentas, zinnias, and
cosmos to attract butterflies. For hum-
mingbirds, include some plants with
tubular flowers including nicotiana,
cuphea, salvia, and fuchsia. And don't
forget about the hungry caterpillars that
will soon turn into beautiful butterflies.
Parsley, bronze fennel, and licorice vines
are a few favorites that make great addi-
tions to container gardens. You can even
create containers that will attract seed-
eating birds. Purple Majesty millet,
coneflower, coreopsis, and Rudbeckias
will keep many of the birds returning to
your landscape.
2- Include water for both the birds
and butterflies. It’s a key ingredient and
a decorative small shallow container
filled with water can be included in a
large container. Or include a free-
standing birdbath within your container
collection. I used a bronzed leaf bird-
bath in just this way. It created a great
vertical accent, added interest to a blank
wall and provided a water supply for the
birds.
3- Give them a place to live and
raise their young. Add a few evergreens,
ornamental grasses, and perennials to
your container garden. Use weather
resistant containers that can tolerate the
extreme heat and cold in your garden.
Then fill with plants that are at least one
zone hardier. Or add a few birdhouses.
These can be included in the container
or mounted on a fence, post, or nearby
tree.
4- Skip the pesticides, please.
Nature, including the birds you invite
into your landscape, will devour many
garden pests. Plus, the chemicals
designed to kill the bad guys can also
kill the good bugs and wildlife you are
trying to attract. And, if pests get out of
hand, use more eco-friendly products
like soaps, Neem, and horticulture oil as
a control mechanism. And, as always,
read and follow label directions careful-
ly.
And to conserve time and energy, try
using one of the self-watering contain-
ers or hanging baskets that are on the
market. This helps to make it both easy
and convenient when time constraints
and vacations get in the way of provid-
ing ideal care. I recently tried using one
of the Gardener’s Supply Easy Roller
self-watering containers. I filled one
with wildlife-friendly petunias along
with papyrus and golden moneywort.
After a five-day trip during hot dry
weather I returned to find my container
garden in great shape and humming-
birds visiting the flowers.
So gather your family and get started
planting your wildlife container garden
today.

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 advertis-

als 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

that if a credit repair company does

Ah…life can certainly be good here in northern Lower
Michigan. This week’s feature home boasts many of the
attributes that make living in the north such an ideal spot to
call home.
To start with, the location is just a few miles away from
Mullett Lake Park, the Cheboygan River, and downtown
Cheboygan. That means plenty of year-round recreation,
entertainment and shopping is close at hand. This “neat as a
pin”” ranch style home also sits on 1.8 beautiful acres of
property, and features large, roomy decks on which to sit
back and enjoy nicely treed backyard views. The large lot
also includes two outbuildings; a two-and-a-half car
detached garage plus a large pole barn for even extra storage
or workshop needs.
The floor plan features approximately 1,040 square feet of
living area on the main level, and the full finished basement
virtually doubles that amount of living space and includes a
family room area, third bedroom, home office space and sec-
ond bath. This is a layout that is highly versatile with plenty
of space for the growing family or to accommodate out-of-
town guests that come north for a visit.
Maintenance is also kept to a minimum here. The home
features easy to care for vinyl siding, durable metal roofing,
and an asphalt drive keeps dust and dirt down in warm
weather while making snow removal a breeze during the
winter.
This sharp three-bedroom, two-bath ranch home, located
close to virtually everything the north has to offer, has
recently been reduced to just $119,900.

How to prepare for a
seamless transition
If you're moving this
summer, the busiest sea-
son for moving, you know
how daunting it can be.
But if you create a blue-
print for your move, the
transition from house to
house will go more
smoothly.
Here are 2 of 10 things
you can do to prepare for a
seamless transition.
3. Be strategic about
packing. If you have more
than a month to ‘pick up
and move’, start early.
Complete a free change of
address and schedule util-
ities ahead of time at
Moving.com. Start pack-
ing early. Whether it’s one
room, one cabinet or a
drawer at a time, weed
through what may be
years of accumulation. As
you’re going through your
belongings, divide every-
thing into these helpful
categories: donate to
charity, give to a friend,
recycle, trash, pack now, or
keep handy until moving
day. You’ll be surprised at
how much you can
donate, recycle or give to
friends. And, you’ll not be
overwhelmed with the task
at hand three days before
you move.
4. Moving is NOT child’s
play. Plan ahead. Consider
daycare on moving day, or
get help from a friend or
family member. Provide
lunch or some other
appropriate thank you
gesture if you do call in a
favor. If that’s not an
option, prioritize setting
up safe places for your
children to play in the new
home on moving day so
they’re not underfoot.
This will help everyone
remain happy and calm on
moving day.
