IR council discusses code enforcement
Opening day first buck
At the Fitzpatrick deer camp, Braydon, 15, was the first to get his buck while hunting with his grandpa, Gerald (pictured); his dad, Carl; and his uncle, Danny. The 8-pointer was harvested at 6:45 on opening morning, Nov. 15. He was hunting from a blind with a .270 Remington rifle and made the shot, through the heart, at 100 yards. The family hunting partners are from the Iron River area. More opening day bucks on the Outdoors page.
By Nikki Mitchell IRON RIVER—During its regular Nov. 13 meeting, the Iron River City council discussed the possibility of hiring someone to fill a custodial and a code enforcement position. City Manager Perry Franzoi said finding someone with the two skill sets would be difficult. Many council members said they feel the Iron River Police Department should handle code enforcement duties. A motion was made by Bill LaRock that the Police Department enforce the blight and code laws, with the city using the civil infraction process. By doing that, fines could be paid at City Hall instead
CF Council planning timber sales By Melanie Bess-Haight CRYSTAL FALLS— At its Nov. 11 meeting, the City Council listened to a short presentation on two upcoming timber sales from Brock VanOss. They are being referred to as the cemetery and the airport timber sales. The council hopes the same buyer purchases both lots,
which are now open for bids. These are two smaller timber sales—if no bids are received, the city will contact logging companies to negotiate sales. “The hope is that the money from these sales will go back into our parks, the cemetery and the general city fund” said City Manager Dorothea Olson.
By Peter Nocerini IRON RIVER—West Iron County’s School Board has decided to hold off on a new security camera system, at least temporarily. Superintendent Chris Thomson made the recommendation at the board’s Nov. 11 regular meeting. A few days earlier, board members had a chance to see possible camera systems. Right now, Thomson said, the district has 21 cameras on two separate systems. With the revision, it would have 47 cameras and use one system. The big problem is money. District officials had thought West Iron would be able to pay for the project from its sinking fund. But they learned recent-
ly that state rules won’t let the sinking fund pay for the full cost—the wiring is eligible, but the equipment (including cameras) is not. “We’re being very cautious with the sinking fund money,” Thomson said. “I do not feel comfortable at this time authorizing Brian [Rippey, technology director] to put out bids until we can tell the board where the money is coming from.” If the project costs $60,000 and the wiring costs $21,000, it means the remaining $39,000 has to come from the district’s general fund—forcing cuts to other budgeted items in the operational budget. “We do not know where that money is coming from,” Thomson said, adding that he will bring the matter to the business committee. Thomson said he hopes to have an update in December. • The district bought a new John Deere tractor in 2010, and now it hopes to sell its old one in favor of a zero-turn mower. The plan is to sell a 1993 tractor, which is still being used out at Bates. The zeroturn mower would be more efContinued on page 5

Council members decided they would like to look into creating more timber sales in the future. VanOss explained that for future sales, timing is everything. The City Council also received a presentation from Tom Staley, a representative from Kiwanis Club. He discussed the Yell & Tell program with the council. The Yell & Tell program equips children with the ability to respond to issues such as fire safety, gun safety, child enticement, poison and water safety. Each aspect of the program is sponsored by a different group in the community. Staley is searching for a sponsor for the new Bullying program that will be presented to Forest Park students. Ap-
proximately 78 children will partake in this program in ages kindergarten through third grade. Mayor Janet Hendrickson made a motion that the City Council will sponsor the bullying program for approximately $100. The motion was carried. The council continued discussing renovations to the City Hall building. With the 100th birthday of the building coming up next spring, they prioritized intended renovations. It was determined that fixing the boiler was a top item, and fixing cosmetic issues that are seen most by the public will be tended to first. In other business the City Council: Continued on page 5

It’s been known for months, but on Nov. 13 it became official: allU.P. Forest Park athlete Lexi Gussert will attend Michigan State University on an athletic scholarship. During a special assembly at the Eddie Chambers Gym, she signed her national letter of intent,
of the Courthouse in Crystal Falls. The motion passed. A second motion was made for the city to hire a custodian for City Hall. Hours and pay rate would be decided by Franzoi. A citizen at the meeting asked if Trico could be used to handle the position, and Franzoi said he will look into it. The board voted to donate $300 to the Kiwanis Yell and Tell program at the schools. The Yell and Tell program is currently being taught to classes at the West Iron County schools. Council members asked whether other local townships or municipalities had been asked to donate, but the Kiwanis representative said that since he was asking for so little money, he was hoping not to ask the other boards. The program in place at Forest Park Schools is sponsored by the city of Crystal Falls. According to City Attorney Mark Tousignant, the city is legally allowed to sponsor the program because it is furthering the health and wellness of the city. “Anything to help the children of West Iron County or any other child we can help with bullying,” Mayor Terry Tarsi said. After discussing possibly turning off certain street lights around the city, the council voted to table the discussion until each board member has the chance to drive around and look at each light on the list. Currently, there are 101 lights on the list. According to Franzoi, turning off some street lights would save the city approximately $20,000.
The topic of using Iron River city police officers outside the city for non-emergencies was also discussed. Council Member Arthur Sacheck said the police department is already overloaded and should not be going out to townships for non-injury incidents. “I think we are cheating our residents who are paying for the Iron River Police Department,” Sacheck said. “It is not a West Iron police department, but it always seems like they are constantly going outside when we have a sheriff’s department and a state police department.” Councilman Ed Marcell said according to the case reports in their packets, there was not one report of any of the officers going outside of the city. He also said that he drives out to the townships. If something were to happen to him, he said, he would want the closest police officer to respond. Board members discussed a written reciprocal agreement with the State Police and the Sheriff’s Department, stating that if an Iron River officer is the first to respond to an incident outside city, that officer can leave as soon as the Sheriff’s Department or the State Police arrive at the scene. A motion was made by Sacheck to curtail police services outside of corporate limits until a reciprocal agreement is made. There was no support for the motion, so it died. Josh Brindle from The IronLine asked permission to use the Apple Blossom Trail, Continued on page 5

Lexi was surprised by the crowd gathered to see her big moment. Luckily, a tissue was nearby.
After signing, Lexi speaks to the assembly of family, fans and friends, with Forest Park basketball coaches Jeff Syrjanen and Jackie Giuliani standing behind her. At a signal, many took off the Forest Park shirts they were wearing—showing Michigan State shirts underneath. Lexi told the group she will wear No. 24 at MSU. That’s the number her brother, Andrew, wore at Forest Park.

Benefit concert scheduled IRON RIVER—The Windsor Center presents the Niles Hiltunen Benefit Concerts to be held on Saturday, Nov. 23 from 7 to 9 p.m. Admission is $5, children under 12 free. The Niles Hiltunen Benefit Fund was started in May of 2009 when he died. He had autism and a seizure disorder. His death resulted from complications from a seizure and an allergic reaction to a medication. The event resulted in his brain not getting enough oxygen and he was declared brain dead. He was a total organ, bone and eye donor. “We have been very fortunate to have met the woman who is his heart recipient,” said a family member. “Our mission as a family, who lived with the challenges of having a child with special needs, was to give random acts of kindness donations that represent just a little hug from our family to theirs. We started a bank account in his name from the sympathy card donations, and have raised money through benefits. It is a grassroots effort but we have been able to directly help families and supporting organizations with more than $10,000 in random acts of kindness donations.” Help is extended not only to individuals with mental disabilities, but those who may be experiencing a serious medical situation such as cancer, or organ transplants, or other serious disabling injuries. “We are fortunate to know
so many wonderfully talented people who have supported our mission,” said a family member. The musicians have volunteered their talent for these two concerts. The first concert
is Saturday, Nov. 23 and the special holiday concert will be on Sunday, Dec. 22. Donations for The Niles Hiltunen Benefit Fund can also be made to the First National Bank of Iron Mountain.

‘A dream come true’
To the editor: To the Iron County Museum and Historical Society Board and the People of Iron County: Harold and I would like to thank everyone for the recent honor--that of announcing the adding of our names to the title of the Iron County Museum Cultural Center. We would also like to apologize for not publicly thanking everyone at the musical program when the announcement of the renaming of the Iron County Museum Cultural Center in our honor was made. It was just so emotional that at the time we could not speak. The museum and its development has become a dream come true, but it also became possible because of the acceptance by the Iron County Board of the property from the Pickands-Mather Co., the work of the Chambers of Commerce at that time, and a group of about 20 historically minded people. They were followed by the many financial supporters and organizations and especially the volunteers that have contributed over the years--people who have shared the dream, its potential, its preservation, and its presentation. We thank you all for helping the dream come true. It’s been a wonderful 50 years. With humble gratitude, -s- Harold and Marcia Bernhardt
Why is no one complaining? To the editor: Michigan’s Rules for Professional Conduct as they apply to lawyers, part of rule 1.2(a) states, “A lawyer shall seek the lawful objectives of a client through reasonably available means permitted by law and these rules.” This statement qualifies the opposite to be illegal. Why is it, then, that no one has been complaining to the Attorney Disciplinary Board when a lawyer, working for and paid by his client, writes clearly illegal revisions like the two ordinance amendments published recently for the City of Gaastra? They have to do with noxious weeds and unsafe buildings. See the October 30 edition of this newspaper. State law specifically prohibits self-rule cities from creating misdemeanors, and jail time, unless the state has already permitted it. See MCL 117.3(k). Ask anyone who has lived in Iron County for a while knows, the local municipalities all copy from one another. What Gaastra has done will be coming to your city soon unless they are stopped. After WWII Pastor Neimoeller presented his famous “First they came…” statement on what happened during the war, with the essence contained in the last line that went, “Then they came for me, and there was no one left to speak for me.” The law is created by us for all of us. There are no privileged few who are above the law in the

Do your shopping locally
I know most of us have heard of stay and shop local. We must give our neighbors, our friends and our relatives a chance! When spending money online, none of that money stays local. But when you shop locally, over 60 percent of the money will stay local, and that will trickle to other business and our economy. If we keep shopping online and in big box stores, we won’t be able to buy certain products, and our family and neighbors will be unemployed. Another problem we have is when someone purchases an item locally and then complains that it is a little higher than if you travel two hours to a box store. This behavior is not acceptable. They should be grateful that they can finish their plumbing job or their grandma’s recipe. Also, when you figure in the cost of gas to get to these big box stores, it could end up costing more to buy the things that you wanted. Be happy; be thankful that you can still get the products locally. We just need to change our attitude.Negativity breeds negativity, plain and simple. When you live off the grid you should expect to pay a little more for certain items. Yes, I like the small town living, but we need to keep what we have and not lose any more business or population. Small Business Saturday is between Black Friday and Cyber Monday. It is another opportunity for shoppers to get a great deal while supporting the backbone of our economy. So this holiday season, remember, give them a chance, so shop Small Business Saturday this Nov. 30 instead of those big box stores or online.

City manager needs support To the editor: The Nov. 5 election is over, amendment change Charter 2.05 for elected officials to serve on more than one compensated position failed. There is a problem the city of Iron River had sought for a legal opinion on March 6, 2002 regarding Soderbloom to also serve on the WICSA board when Terry Tarsi resigned from the WICSA board because he believed the mayor should serve on multiple boards. April 2002, Plunkett & Cooney legal opinions is that the mayor is prohibited to serve on various boards, when the city is in contractual relationships. The legal opinion was deemed in 2002, how is it possible that the
change to the amendment was even achieved to be brought up for a vote by voters in 2013? There are other questionable practices that have come to light. It is the statement of Arthur Sacheck stated on the council floor about the City Council taking $150,000 in 2011 to pay for other expenses. The $150,000 is the former city manager encouraged the City Council to take the money out of the water savings account. Which is in enterprise fund which are not transferable? The funds were transferred to the MERS pension fund, sometime after Sept. 15, 2011. On Nov. 14, 2011, the same city manager negotiated benefits in violation of the charter for himself. Oddly enough the current city manager is striving to do his best when he has found other problem areas in the budget, city auditor report ‘expenditures are exceeding appropriations in the 2012/13 budget.’ Reports have not been filed for years. Other monies have been transferred from the state mandated sewer fund to the general fund. The current city manager has walked into a mess, and he needs the support of the taxpayers as he strives to clean it up. -s- Paul Joseph Van Minsel Iron River
Health Department celebrates Great American Smokeout IRON RIVER—The American Cancer Society marks the Great American Smokeout on the third Thursday of November each year by encouraging smokers to use the date to make a plan to quit, or to plan in advance and quit smoking that day. By doing so, smokers will be taking an important step towards a healthier life – one that can lead to reducing cancer risk. This year’s Great American Smokeout will be held on Thursday, Nov. 21. Tobacco use remains the single largest preventable cause of disease and premature death in Michigan, killing more than 14,500 residents each year, yet many Michiganders still use tobacco. Twenty-three percent of Michigan adults, and 14 percent of Michigan youth smoke cigarettes. Quitters are most successful when using a combination of therapies, including resources such as nicotine replacement and counseling. Resources available to Michigan residents include: --The Michigan Department of Community Health (MDCH) Tobacco Quitline, 1-(800) 784-8669, continues to provide free telephone coaching for the uninsured and those with Medicaid and Medicare,
and free nicotine replacement medications for those who qualify. Information on quitting smoking and a free printable Michigan Smoker’s Quit Kit are available through MDCH by visiting: www.michigan.gov/ tobacco. --BecomeAnEX.org is a free, interactive website that shows smokers how to re-learn life without cigarettes. The site, developed by Legacy in partnership with Mayo Clinic, offers a free, personalized quit plan and an online support community to help people prepare to quit and stay quit. --Dickinson County Healthcare System offers a smoking cessation class. Need 15 participants to hold a class. Cost is $30. Call 776-5532 to learn more. --The American Cancer Society has tools available to help with quitting.

“LEGALLY SPEAKING” by ATTORNEY HANNAH L. GOODMAN Revocation of Last Will and Testament
A person who has testamentary capacity (the capacity to understand the nature of his or her actions) may revoke his or her Last Will and Testament at any time prior to death. Once a Last Will and Testament has been validly executed, it may only be revoked by operation of the law, by subsequent instrument or by physical act. As any physical alterations and/or damage to an original Last Will and Testament may be construed as an act of revocation, it is essential that if the person wishes to revise his or her Last Will and Testament, appropriate actions such as drafting a codicil be undertaken.

Iron River council . . . Continued from page 1 the RV Park and the snow fence for this winter’s IronLine sled dog race. He also mentioned the two financial options for the city to help with: the advertising budget and the race purse. Tarsi said the Downtown Development Authority’s finance committee had met and agreed to increase its donation for the 2014 race. A motion was made and approved to let the IronLine use the RV Park and the Apple Blossom Trail for the race. During the meeting, Craig Richardson of GEI Consultants discussed sending the SAW Grant application in as the final step of the process. Council members asked what the total cost to the city would be if the grant was approved. Richardson said there would be no cost to the city, and they are only applying for the asset management portion of the grant, not the construction portion. The board approved the resolution to send the grant application in. The U.P. Rodeo sponsorship was discussed and tabled because the city did not receive an expense report from the 2013 rodeo, as it had been promised. Once the expense report comes in, the council will discuss the sponsorship for the 2014 Rodeo. In other business: --The board asked Franzoi
to contact the state about the short time on the street light. --The MDEQ annual invoice for the public water supply of $1,224.94 was approved. --The Pitlik and Wick invoice for the blacktop that was used for filling potholes of $2,543 was approved. --The CarQuest (Iron River Auto Supply) invoice for the wheel bearings on one of the larger city vehicles of $1,159 was approved.
MARSP holds its fall meeting IRON RIVER—The fall gathering of the Michigan Association of Retired School Personnel (MARSP) was held on Oct. 9 at Grace Covenant Church. Angeli’s deli provided the lunch, which was followed by the business meeting. Many members had attended a gathering to discuss insurance benefits held in conjunction with the Dickinson County MARSP chapter at Pine Grove Country Club. Several topics and speakers were suggested for future meetings. A concern was voiced regarding the inability to contact some of the members. It was noted that both a phone

They would be approved at the December meeting. Several board members noted with a chuckle that one of the policies promises the district will comply with the Iran Economic Sanctions Act. “We don’t want to be noncompliant by doing business with Iran,” Thomson said with a straight face.

By Peter Nocerini IRON RIVER—Truck drivers should be aware of some new state laws that will take effect soon. Road Commissioner Charles Battan made the suggestion during the commission’s Nov. 12 monthly meeting. He said a trooper from the State Police should hold a public information meeting locally to explain several new state laws that affect truck drivers—particularly those with CDLs (commercial driver licenses). Battan said he recently attended a safety meeting with a state trooper from Marquette about the new laws, which will take effect Jan. 1. Under the new law, Battan said, if a driver goes into the secretary of state’s office to renew his CDL “and your physical isn’t up to date, they’ll take it away from you on the spot and give you an operator’s license.” That means until he sees a doctor and gets a physical, the driver won’t be able to drive commercially. There are also new laws regarding tie-downs. “I think it would be a good thing if they had him come here,” Battan said. “And he will do it.” • Because of the fruitless efforts to be compensated for legal fees related to the Hughes case, Commissioner Ernest Schmidt said the Road
Commission needs to be ready in case such a matter comes up again. “We should somehow be able to be reimbursed for our expenses,” Schmidt said. “What if the expenses were $50,000? There ought to be something we can do.” The case involved a lawsuit that asked the Road Commission and other defendants to give up a 44-foot wide parcel along Hagerman Lake to adjacent landowners. The Road Commission did not fight the case and agreed to the request but was never compensated for its legal fees. Superintendent Doug Tomasoski has written the attorney involved in the case several times but has gotten no reply. • The board approved a series of budget amendments, removing funds set aside for projects the Road Commission couldn’t get to this year. Most of those funds and projects will be moved into the 2014 budget. Other 2013 projects had not been anticipated, such as culvert repair along Ponozzo Road. Office Manager Darlene Anderson also noted that revenue from timber sales was down this year. “We had hoped for better timber and salvage sales, but that didn’t happen this year,” she said. Crystal Falls Township Su-
pervisor Tom Lesandrini said the county’s Economic Development Corp. has released a $40,000 payment to the Road Commission for survey work on the Heritage Trail. “We’re still moving forward,” Lesandrini said. “We have a good group on it.” • In other business, the Road Commission: --Approved holiday gift certificates of $25 per employee, the same amount as last year. --Set the hearing on the 2014 budget for right after the regular Dec. 10 meeting— which will start at 3:30 p.m. --Named Tomasoski as project engineer for three projects: County Road 424 (Alpha to Buck Lake Road), County Road 657 (aka Gibbs City Road; phase 3) and Lind Road. --Voted to purchase plow blades for both garages, at a cost of $4,700, about the same as last time. --Took no action on a request regarding property on Camp Lake. Attorney Mark Tousignant’s asked for the delay so he can review the matter. A survey that was submitted, he said, “raises more questions than it answers.” --Heard from Battan that the commission should set minimum bids when it wants to sell it equipment it no longer needs. A chip spreader and a rub-
ber tire roller were sold recently. “We didn’t get hardly nothing for them,” he said. “We could have sold it for junk and got three times what the bids went for.” --Heard from Commissioner Joe Sabol that he has been getting calls about some roads “that need grading bad. I know they were up north grading, and then we got all the rain, and it just tore them all back.” On a related topic, the commission agreed to discuss summer temporary workers at its December meeting.

Otolaryngology On Site Testing / Diagnosis of Hearing Loss Complete Real-Ear Measurements Hearing Aid Sales & Service Member - Hearing Resources of Michigan
Hearing loss is a medical issue. In fact, many medical illnesses contribute to hearing problems. To diagnose and treat your hearing loss, the otolaryngologist or ENT specialty clinic is the place to go. ENT specialists are trained to diagnose and treat hearing loss. When it is determined that a hearing aid is needed, they work directly with the Audiologist. Together the ENT and Audiologist become your "hearing team.” Dickinson Ear, Nose & Throat Clinic offers this team approach to correct or manage your hearing loss. Dr. Cameron and Dr. Hutchinson provide a unique blend of professional expertise in combination with sophisticated technology to diagnose and treat your hearing problem. When a hearing aid is needed, leading edge Real-Ear technology was recently added that provides much greater accuracy in fitting a hearing aid. The new technology dramatically reduces both under and over amplification, which have historically led to patient dissatisfaction with a hearing aid. Real-Ear technology: • Allows for an exact match of hearing aid prescription to individual patient hearing loss. • Is crucial to properly fitting pediatric hearing aids. • Creates greater patient satisfaction with the hearing aid. • Has dramatically reduced the number of hearing aid returns. • Is listed by the American Academy of Audiology in their best practice guidelines. • Is endorsed by a Consumer Reports study.

Dickinson Radiation Oncology Center attains national accreditation IRON MOUNTAIN—At its monthly meeting, Dickinson County Healthcare System’s Board of Trustees heard that the Radiation Oncology Center at Dickinson Memorial Hospital received national accreditation, an accomplishment that places it in an elite group of only 11 centers in the state of Michigan to do so. There are only 12 accredited centers in Wisconsin; Appleton being the closest one. National accreditation assures patients that the radiation treatments they receive locally meet the most stringent of national standards for safety and quality. The American College of Radiology (ACR) Committee for Radiation Oncology Practice Accreditation directs the program. The accreditation process, designed to promote quality and be educational in nature, includes an onsite survey performed by board certified radiation oncologists and board certified medical physicists. The Center proceeded through a stringent review process. Prior to the site visit, Dickinson staff submitted patient records to the reviewers for cancers of the breast, prostate, head and neck, lung and a sampling of generic disease sites. During the visit, the surveyors toured the facility, verified the information submitted in the facility’s application, conducted interviews with both Dr. Jason Duelge and Dr. Ken Chu and other key personnel, and collected information about the facility’s patient treatment policies and procedures and safety initiatives. Additionally, personnel qualifications were reviewed along with staffing levels. The complete physics program was also reviewed, which included treatment planning, dosing, procedures in place for the quality checks on equipment function, and the radiation protection program.
Surveyors met with the group for a brief “exit” interview. Any recommendations for improvement and the actual award of accreditation were provided by ACR Committee decision. “The function of every piece of equipment involved in providing radiation therapy is reviewed daily by the therapists and I review it weekly and monthly,” commented medical physicist, Dr. Ken Chu. “In addition, an annual equipment review is provided by an outside company, M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Texas. We passed the survey with flying colors and are accredited for three years. In fact, one of the surveyors said she had never seen such thorough patient documentation. I am very proud to be associated with this Center here in Iron Mountain.” “The Accreditation process is very thorough, and the standards are very high,” commented Dr. Jason Duelge. “We made the commitment two years ago that this Center would attain this benchmark for our patients. We want to be sure we are doing our very best to provide the highest quality of care for our patients so they can feel comfortable placing their care in our hands.”

Firearm deer season opening day eights in IC area
Chris Winkler, Green Bay, Wis., got his 8-point buck at 7:30 a.m. on opening morning, Nov. 15. He was using a .270 Winchester and made a 50 yard shot. His up north hunting trip came by way of relatives and friends in the Iron River area, Jan LaDu and Larry Piwarski.
Leonard Lafayette, Iron River, was hunting on his Iron County property when he downed a nice 8-point buck at 10:15 a.m. on Nov. 15. He was using a 30.06 Remington when he made the 60 yard shot from his hunting blind. He had four does come in and then a single doe being chased by the buck.
New hunter walking trail opens
IRON RIVER—The Brule River Chapter of the National Wild Turkey Federation (NWTF) and Plum Creek announced that a new hunter walking trail and habitat improvement area is open to the public in Iron County. The project was completed in October and includes a 1/3 mile-long walking trail and two permanent one-acre openings for wildlife habitat and viewings. The project has been a yearlong partnership between these two organizations. In the summer of 2012, Plum Creek kicked off the effort by selectively harvesting, excavating, bulldozing and grading the area. This spring, NWTF members and local residents disked, picked rocks, fertilized and seeded the area. The final touches, including the addition of a gate and signage, were completed this fall and the trail is now officially open to the public. “This new walking trail and habitat improvement area will benefit residents and sportsmen of Iron County and beyond,” said Keith Rockwood, acting president of NWTF Brule River. “We are excited that our community has access to another great opportunity to experience Michigan’s beautiful outdoors.” The one-acre habitat enhancement areas are primarily designed to benefit turkey, ruffed grouse, woodcock and deer but will also provide improved habitat for song-

The NWTF chapter will continue to maintain the sites each year, including mowing, re-seeding and fertilizing the areas. “In addition to providing recreation opportunities for the community, these trail systems and openings create and enhance habitat for game and non-game species alike,” said Jeffrey Joseph, Plum Creek senior resource forester. “This new trail is a great place for sportsmen and nonsportsmen alike to enjoy the outdoors on land open to the public.” The new trail is located
near Sunset Lake, just north of Iron River. Visitors can access the site from US 2 by traveling north on Sunset Lake Road three miles to Forsberg Road. Then follow Forsberg Road 2.5 miles to Heikkila Road. The gate to the trail will be located ¼ of a mile down the road and parking is available along the road. The trail will be open to the public for recreational use year-round. This is the second hunter walking trail open to the public in Iron County. The other trail, completed in 2005, is located approximately 10 miles northeast of Iron River, off County

Vicky Vargovich, Gaastra, got her 8-point buck at 3:30 p.m. on opening day. She was hunting with her mom, Lois. “The buck came in following a doe and had no plans of sticking around. All we had seen all day were does and about to give up for the day when this guy came in.” (submitted photo)
Best hunting in years
It was a three bucks success for hunters from three states hunting in the Chicaugon Lake area. Harry Smith, Gaastra, his son, Randy Smith of South Carolina, and Bill Shores of Minnesota each downed their buck within three hours of the opening of firearm deer season, Nov. 15. Randy Smith said that it was the best hunting in 20 years. One of the deer went to feed hungry neighbors. Harry hopes to get a second deer that he’ll donate to feed the hungry also. (Smith photo)

Stankewicz followed with three more points, and Gussert’s kill fittingly ended the set, the match and the regional tourney. “They did a great job of never giving up,” Gussert said about her teammates. “We were on our heels after the third game, but we stepped it up and covered the floor nice.” In the fourth set, Gussert took matters in her own hands. “Being a senior leader, Kimmy expects that of us,” she said. “I don’t get those great hits without the great passes and the great sets by Maria. It’s a team win, but I’m glad I can make the finishing touch.” Stankewicz, only a sophomore but already a team captain, was a steady hand for Forest Park and a cool customer in the clutch. “It’s really tough when a lot of people get down on themselves,” she said. “I really try my best to pick everyone up. About her seven points in the third set, Stankewicz said, “I was really trying for those

Whew! “We play with a lot of heart,” Santilli said the next day. “We make mistakes but yet we made plays when we had to make them. This is not the most talented team we’ve ever had, but they just seem to find a way to hang on and win. “That’s a statistic you can’t coach. They just have that will.” North Dickinson opened the game with a long drive that ended on downs at the Trojan 23—they came about 6 inches short on a 4th and 2 play. Forest Park got 19 yards on

a Snell run, but the offensive star of the Trojans’ first drive was Tomasik, who had runs of 14 and 25 yards on third down. Graff scored from the 2, and Snell’s two-point run put the Trojans in front 8-0 early in the second quarter. Two plays later, a Nordics handoff was missed, and FP’s Adam Hilberg recovered the fumble at the ND 38. The Nordics forced 4th and 8, when Johnson passed down the right side to Snell, who deked around a tackler and scored from 36 yards out. Tomasik’s two-point run made it 16-0, Forest Park. The Nordics came back. After Daniel Nocerini’s sack forced 3rd and 14, O’Neil passed to Berg, who beat his defender and got away for a 69-yard touchdown. Another Nocerini tackle stopped the convert and kept the score at 16-6. Forest Park nearly scored late in the half, with Tomasik’s 30-yard run starting it with a bang. But it was slow going after that. On fourth down at the ND 4, Snell went around the left side but was stopped a foot short. Down 16-6 at halftime, the Nordics attacked early in the third quarter. Tim Hruska’s 19yard run and O’Neil’s pass to Wagner put ND on the Trojan 9. After Hruska’s TD run was negated by a holding penalty, ND got the score anyway on O’Neil’s 17-yard pass to Berg, who outjumped his defenders. That cut Forest Park’s lead to 16-12 late in the third quarter. Santilli noted that Forest Park still hasn’t found the perfect combination of people— but at this point it’s much too late to move people around. “It comes down to trying to sharpen up the guys who have been playing those spots all year and going with what we feel is our best lineup.” Tomasik got a major role in the running game after Graff got banged up during the L’Anse game and was held out of practice.
“We told Ray that you’ve got to be the bull we rely on,” Santilli said. “Ray was very effective running hard. The linemen were giving him just enough nice blocks, and, boy, he was very effective running hard, putting the shoulder down and dragging some guys with him at times.” Santilli said the Trojans wanted to throw more, but with the lead in a close game, Forest Park coaches wanted to run the ball and keep the clock running. Team stats: FP, 274 total yards (42-237 rushing, 1-6-37 passing); ND, 328 total yards (28-102 rushing, 11-16-226 passing). First downs: FP 11, ND 10.

• This Saturday, Nov. 23, Forest Park plays in the state semifinals for the first time since 2010. The opponent: Beal City. It will be played at the Superior Dome in Marquette and kicks off at 10 a.m. Eastern Time (9 Central). Both teams are undefeated—but unlike Forest Park, the Aggies have run roughshod through the playoffs, with wins by scores of 68-15, 38-0 and 55-0 (the regional title game Nov. 15 over St. Ignace). Beal City’s only close game all season was a 42-35 overtime win over Class C Lake City (which lost to Ishpeming in the D7 playoffs last Saturday). During the regular season, the Aggies piled up plenty of points whenever they got a chance, winning by scores of 61-0, 77-0, 74-0 and 70-0. Maybe it’s a David and Goliath story. NORDICS TROJANS

Forest Park had to work very hard to defeat North Dickinson 2420 in the Division 8 regional championship game Nov. 15 at Dick
Mettlach Field—and that made the post-game trophy presentation even sweeter.
CRYSTAL FALLS—Forest Park never trailed North Dickinson during its Division 8 regional title game here Nov. 15, but the Trojans never breathed easily, either. Only after a last-second hook-and-ladder play was broken up could the Forest Park faithful exhale and celebrate a 24-20 win, another regional title and a date in the state semifinals this weekend. The Trojans are now 12-0. “I think everybody there,” Coach Bill Santilli said later, “didn’t really know the outcome of that game until that zero showed up on the scoreboard.” Forest Park has certainly not blown away its opponents in this year’s playoffs (3016 over Gogebic, 16-9 over
The 10-point lead lasted just 16 seconds. On the first play after the kickoff, Nordic QB Logan O’Neil passed to Noah Berg over the middle, and Berg turned on the jets down the right side, outracing Trojan defenders for a 71-yard TD. O’Neil flipped a two-point pass to Berg, and the Nordics were back within two, 22-20, with 5:51 left to play. “Look at the scoreboard,” Assistant Coach Dave Graff told his team just before the kickoff. “We’ve got the lead and six minutes to play.” Forest Park got the kickoff and chewed up half that time, with Johnson draining every second possible before the snap. (Once he cut it too close and was called for delay.) The Trojans finally punted, and Raymond Tomasik’s kick was everything FP’s coaches wished for—it was downed at the Nordics 1. ND ball, 99 yards from the Trojan goal with 2:17 left. On third down from the 5, O’Neil went back to pass, was hurried and threw the ball away—but was flagged for grounding. And since he threw the ball from the end zone, it was an automatic safety. FP now led 24-20 with 1:22 left, and the Nordics had to kick to Forest Park from its 20. The win’s finally in the bag, right? Wrong! The Nordics tried an onside kick, and it worked: ND ball at their 32. Two short passes earned a first down at the Nordics 45, but after using their final time-out, ND could only stop the clock by spiking the ball. O’Neil’s pass to Derek Wagner got ND a first down at the Trojan 42. After a spike
Trojans advance to grid semfinals L’Anse). The regional title game wasn’t any different. North Dickinson, bolstered by the return of several injured players who missed ND’s 4320 loss to the Trojans on Oct. 4, never quit, showed they could strike quickly and had everyone in red and black on pins and needles as the final minutes slowly ticked away. Forest Park led 16-12 as the fourth quarter started and seemed to take command with a 52-yard scoring drive. A 13yard run by Austin Snell was the big play, but the Trojans had to convert a pair of third downs before Lee Graff twisted into the end zone from the 2. A pass from QB Jeff Johnson was incomplete, but the Trojans now led 22-12 with 6:07 left.

Facing 3rd and 6 from the Nordics 22 late in the game, Trojans QB Jeff Johnson picks up 7 yards for a key first down. Billy Ragio (22) blocks out ND’s Tim Hruska.

Lady Trojans add trophy, head to ‘D’ quarterfinals NEGAUNEE—The water quickly got a lot deeper for Forest Park’s volleyball team during the Class D regional tournament here last week. After breezing through their district and winning the semifinal match 3-0, the Lady Trojans suddenly found themselves on the defensive against a determined, aggressive Stephenson squad midway through the championship match. But the Lady Trojans regrouped around the cool, determined play of their leaders, earned a 3-1 win (25-14, 25-15, 22-25, 25-18) and will play in the final rounds of the state tournament this week. “I told the girls,” Coach Kim Bjork said during the happy post-game hubbub, “I don’t know what you guys are trying to do to us coaches, but you’re really putting years on our age.” But she was smiling as she said that. “We responded and pulled it out in the end. That’s all that matters.” Next, the Lady Trojans face Brimley in a Class D state quarterfinal match at Manistique on Tuesday, Nov. 19.
