Slight uptick felt in home sales Ryan Bentley (231) 439-9342 - rbentley@petoskeynews.com

Compared to year-ago levels, Northwest Michigan’s residential real estate market showed slight gains during 2011’s first quarter in terms of transaction prices and the total number of properties sold.

For an area that includes Emmet, Charlevoix and Antrim counties, along with some neighboring areas where local agents handled sales, Multiple Listing Service statistics showed 221 residential sales occurring from January through April, up from 215 during that period in 2010.

The average price for a residen-

tial property sale in 2011’s first quarter was $185,952, up from $184,739 a year earlier.

The median sale price during the January-through-March period was $116,500, increasing from $106,900 in early 2010.

The median figure, representing the midpoint of all transaction prices, offers a gauge of pric-

ing trends that’s less vulnerable than the average price figure to skewing by a few high-cost transactions.

Price trends varied somewhat from county to county within the region.

In Charlevoix County, for example, the average residential sale price for the first quarter was

down from the year-ago level, but the median price increased yearto-year. In Emmet County, the opposite was true.

“I really feel like we’re coming out ... not fast, but we’re coming out from the (market) low of ‘09,” said Pat Leavy, partner and own-

Batman busted ■

Petoskey public safety arrests man on rooftop dressed as Caped Crusader Heather Lockwood

A 31-year-old Harbor Springs man who, police say, was on the roof of a business in downtown Petoskey dressed as Batman, was arrested early Wednesday morning for trespassing and possession of dangerous weapons, according to a Petoskey Department of Public Safety news release.

Petoskey police received a report of a man on the roof of a business, located in the 400 block of East Mitchell Street, about 12:40 a.m. today, Wednesday, May 11, according to the release. Additional information supplied by central dispatch included the fact that the man was dressed as Batman.

Responding officers, includ-

ing Michigan State Police troopers, saw “a male subject, dressed in a Batman costume, hanging off the western wall of the building,” according to the release. The officers got onto the roof and pulled the man back onto it.

Officers detained the man and located a baton-type striking weapon, a can of chemical irritant spray and a pair of lead lined gloves. The suspect was arrested for trespassing and possession of dangerous weapons.

The man was lodged at the Emmet County Jail and his name is being withheld pending his arraignment, said public safety director John Calabrese.

Calabrese said it is unclear what the man’s motivations were.

“I think he enjoys doing this,” he said.

Postal Service reports billions in losses WASHINGTON (AP) — The Postal Service is continuing to hemorrhage money, reporting a loss Tuesday of more than $2 billion over the first three months of the year and warning it could be forced to default on federal payments.

Such a default would not interrupt mail service to millions of Americans, but it could further hobble an agency struggling with a sharp decline in mail because of the Internet and a tough economy.

The agency says the $2.2 billion loss covers Jan. 1 to March 31 — sharply higher than the net loss of $1.6 billion for the same period last

year. The post office also said it will have reached its borrowing limit, set by Congress, of $15 billion by the end of the budget year on Sept. 30.

Unless Congress intervenes, the Postal Service said, the agency won’t have the cash for certain payment to the government, such as billions for a trust fund to provide health care benefits for future retirees.

“The Postal Service continues to seek changes in the law to enable a more flexible and sustainable business model,” said Postmaster General and CEO Patrick R. Donahoe. “The Postal Service may return to finan-

cial stability only through significant changes to the laws that limit flexibility and impose undue financial burdens.”

Total mail volume, about 41 billion pieces, was down 3.1 percent for the January to March period, compared with the same time a year earlier, the Postal Service said. A modest increase in revenue from standard mail wasn’t enough to offset the revenue loss.

In the last three years, the agency has cut over 130,000 jobs and is eliminating about 7,500 administrative jobs in regional offices.

It does not receive tax money for its operations.

Hospital to host workshop for insomnia sufferers

Northern Michigan Regional Hospital Sleep Center will sponsor a free workshop for those who suffer from insomnia.

The event will take place from 5:30-7 p.m. on Thursday, May 19, at BJ’s Restaurant Conference Room located on North 27 in Gaylord.

Insomnia is one of the most common medical complaints. Millions of people suffer from the disorder, which includes having trouble falling or staying asleep.

People with insomnia usually awaken feeling unrefreshed, which affects the ability to function during the day.

Insomnia affects not only energy level and mood, but also health, work performance and quality of life.

Kris Zatkoff, a registered respiratory therapist, will discuss proper care of C-PAP machines and other experts will also be available to answer questions.

Snacks will be provided and door prizes will be awarded throughout the evening.

The meeting is part of AWAKE (Alert, Well and Keeping Energetic), a national organization to provide education and information to patients and their families. For more information, call (866) 7753372.

“I had to take temperature, pulse and respiration of a patient. I had five minutes for the vital signs and three minutes to change a gown,” she said. “I was so nervous because I really didn’t know what I was going to be doing.”

When it was all over, Alex walked away with the event’s top prize and an invitation to compete in the national competition in June in California.

“I started crying when I heard the news,” she said. “I thought I did well, but I didn’t think I’d get first place.”

But Alex’s health occupations teacher, Carla Zlotow, wasn’t surprised.

“I knew she was going to be going (to nationals),” Zlotow said. “She did very well, I’m so proud of her.”

“I’m really excited about going to nationals,” Alex added. “It’s going to be a great experience for me since it’s a career field I’m interested in.”

For the last several months, members of the building trades class have been building a garage on Greenwood Road. The project allows them to learn everything about a building project, from blueprint design to carpentry and plumbing.

A year ago, the building trades team took first place in the state competition and second in nationals. So last month, there were a lot of expectations as the students competed in the state finals in Lansing.

egories of blueprint and planning, carpentry, plumbing, masonry and electrical.

Twin brothers Cory and Cody Boucher both took the top prize in their respective categories — Cory for carpentry and Cody for plumbing.

Senior Brandon Gibson took third in masonry and junior Derrick Kelley took eighth in the electrician category.

Then the point totals were tallied. The final count left the Petoskey team short of first place by just .22 of a point.

“We’re happy we got on stage, that was our goal,” Derrick said.

“I’m so proud of them,” said building trades instructor, Randy Handwerk. “They did an excellent job.”

This was the first year the automotive trade team from Petoskey took part in the state competition last month at Ferris State University in Big Rapids.

The Petoskey High School team placed second.

Students on the team come from several area districts.

Charlevoix High School senior Ryan Wimmer took second place in the electrical category, while A.J. Hollerback, a senior from Alanson took second in the written test category.

Eric Forbes, a senior from Boyne City took the top prize in the interviewing skills category.

Forbes also left the competition with more than $15,000 in college scholarships.

The team was led by automotive instructor, Adam Hausler.

Former Grain Train manager sentenced to jail for embezzling from company after she reportedly embezzled more than $50,000 from the Petoskey company.

According to court documents, from March 2006 to January 2010, Livingston reportedly exploited Grain Train’s accounting software, forged checks, stole from bank deposits, used company funds to pay for personal expenses and destroyed computer records.

Based on the records of a forensic auditor and bookkeeper that were brought in to assess the financial impact on the natural foods market, it is estimated that Livingston embezzled as much as $74,234.

According to a court affidavit,

there was also evidence to show that Livingston attempted to repay some of the funds that she had taken from the cooperative.

Following her arrest, Livingston was initially charged with eight felonies, including one count of embezzlement between $50,000 and $100,000, which is a 15-year felony; one count of using a computer to commit a crime, which is a 20-year felony; and six counts of forgery, each of which are 14-year felonies. In exchange for Livingston’s plea, the prosecutor’s office dismissed her eight original felonies.

Livingston’s attorney, Ronald Powers, could not immediately be reached for comment.

Osama bin Laden was killed May 1 by a bullet to the head from a U.S. commando. U.S. Navy SEAL Team Six stormed a Pakistan compound in which bin Laden was living, apparently for years, and just like that, the bogeyman that had eluded capture for so long was no more.

It is odd to celebrate the death of another human being, but we did. And we hope this man’s death brings some form of closure to the families of those who perished in New York, Washington D.C. and aboard Flight 93, the plane which crashed near Shanksville, Pa. But, make no mistake, bin Laden’s death does not mean our country, our citizens and our

There are many other monsters of his ilk that call for death and destruction of innocents in the name of religion or ideology. The threats are not gone and we can not ease our guard.

We still have soldiers, sailors and Marines overseas fighting to

keep those threats at bay. Armed forces members fight on — under assault and facing injury or death — in places far from their families and home. They are doing this to keep us safe in an increasingly dangerous world.

They are our defense against the next bin Laden. Make no mistake, there will be another monster like him.

So, while we rejoice in the fact this one horrible man is no longer a threat to us, we must remember this is true only thanks to the men and women in our intelligence and military services who risk their lives on a daily basis. And we must remember the fight is not over.

Letters from our readers School taxation without representation

Editor: Charging non-homestead property owners higher school taxes is definitely unfair “taxation without representation.” Every non-homestead property owner should be able to vote to defend themselves on any tax issue regarding any properties they may own regardless of their primary residence. These school board tax and spenders are inept showing no leadership qualities and should be held legally accountable. Deficit spending is spending money you don’t have and is definitely a criminal act that should be treated the same as those who write bad checks! Just because they are elected, doesn’t mean they can’t be sued individually for their dastardly actions thinking they can hide behind their elected positions. Check the Civil Rights Laws. Hats off to Michigan State Representative Richard Leblanc who is working to change House Bill 4546 that would allow non-resident property owners to vote on school millage issues.

Socioeconomic justice Editor: Leaders say there’s a “deficit” and cuts are necessary for health, education, Social Security, parks, etc.

However, many big corporations are making record profits, paying no taxes, and receiving taxpayer dollars.

Corporations give millions to both political parties. Billions go into wars. Trillions are untaxed and unregulated on Wall Street.

Tax cuts continue for the wealthiest 1 percent who now control 40 percent of our country’s wealth. The financial system, media, elections, state and federal governments, and regulatory agencies have been corrupted, weakening laws that protect wellbeing, jobs, finances, food, air, and water, further disenfranchising the other 99 percent.

Besides being unjust, this system is short sighted because we’re interconnected — all on the same boat. The ship of state is listing badly and when it capsizes everyone goes down.

The ship needs re-balancing soon — working together to invest in infrastructure, education, arts and creativity, research and development, conservation of

resources — to bring “liberty and justice for all.”

As a Cree teaching says: “When all the trees have been cut down, when all the animals have been hunted, when all the waters are polluted, when all the air is unsafe to breathe, only then will you discover you cannot eat money.”

Bear River project — wow!

Editor: More than twenty-six years ago the guy I was dating said he’d take me fishing on the Bear River, somewhere in the vicinity of the old dam. As is often the case, time passed and things happened.

This year, when my husband asked me what I would like for Mother’s Day, I didn’t have to think long and hard: “I want to go fishing on the Bear!” was my reply. So this morning, we set off with fishing poles and crawlers.

We turned off Lake Street onto Quaintance and drove under the bridge on Mitchell Street to the new parking lot. Grabbing our gear, we followed the walking trail along the river until we reached Bridge Street, and then See LETTERS on PAGE A5

A

s the chair of the school aid budget in the Senate, I take very seriously the impact that proposed budget cuts will have on schools. Our young people are the future of our state, and we must ensure that when they graduate, they have the tools and knowledge necessary to succeed in the 21st century economy. The school aid budget for Fiscal Year 2011-2012 totals in excess of $12 billion, which is more than 25 percent of the total state budget. This fact alone proves that education funding is a top priority for Republicans and Democrats alike.

Although the proposed Senate budget reduces the per-pupil foundation allowance by $340, a reduction of roughly 4 percent, when you compare this with reductions in other areas of the budget, it is quite modest. For example, universities will see 15 percent less aid from the state, the Department of Corrections will Walker see a little more than 5 percent less funding, and the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development must function with 6 percent less. Obviously we would like to reduce the cut to education further, and we may be able to do so if additional revenue is projected with our May Consensus Revenue Estimating Conference. However, it is important to note that we are working to give school districts the tools to alleviate the pressures that any cut would have.

For example, the Legislature is reviewing legislation to help control health care costs for school districts, which when combined with school employee salaries and retirement costs makes up on average more than 80 percent of a school district’s budget. Shockingly, some districts pay upwards of $24,000 per employee for health care!

Any savings realized within health care will directly benefit local school districts.

We are also looking at possible changes to the retirement system for teachers. In 1997, the Michigan Legislature changed retirement for all state employees, including legislators.

Everyone hired by the state or elected to a state office after

1997 receives a defined contribution plan, more commonly known as a 401K plan. However, because of strong opposition from teachers unions, teachers were exempted from this change, and as a result, they still receive a defined benefit plan (traditional pension). The cost to districts for that pension plan plus the cost to fund guaranteed school retiree health care continues to soar. Next year, school districts will see the rate they must contribute increase from about 20 percent of an employee’s gross pay to more than 24 percent for most employees—an increase of 20 percent in one year! So, for every dollar spent on school employees’ salaries and health care, an additional 24 cents is spent on retirement and retiree health care; this is unsustainable. Reasonably addressing health care and retirement costs is just one of the things that can be done to save local districts money and minimize the impact of reductions in state aid.

As someone who is married to a retired teacher, I certainly understand the hard work and dedication most teachers give to their students. No one wants to deny a teacher a decent living and adequate benefits. But a school district’s number-one priority should be educating kids and putting students first, not putting an adult’s pay and benefits first. If all school employees would give a little, whether it be in the form of less costly health insurance plans or small reductions in pay, a few employees (many of them younger teachers) wouldn’t have to give 100 percent in the form of layoffs, and the services that our schools provide could likely continue unaffected.

Our budget process is far from completed, but I assure you that we are working to put a budget in place well before our school districts must pass their budgets. I look forward to working with my colleagues and stakeholders to pass a balanced budget and put reasonable reforms into place that address the stresses on our local school districts.

OPINION

Wednesday, May 11, 2011 •

LETTERS FROM A4 although the fishing was just so-so (my husband caught and released a small brownie and I had just one nibble) we were amazed by the positive change to this section of the Bear River environs. The addition of several footbridges, over-

backtracked, marveling at the beauty of the river rushing over huge boulders, and the resulting eddys and white water, as well as the wonderful new trail and park system developed by the city of Petoskey. The morning was perfect, and

looks, pavilions and picnic areas, as well as restroom facilities has helped to make this corridor of the river truly breathtaking.

Kudos to the city of Petoskey for a job well-done!

Unresolved questions follow after bin Laden’s death WASHINGTON — After years spent wondering daily about where he was, and what he was doing and what he was thinking, we are being overwhelmed by information about Osama bin Laden.

From 9/11 and 2001 onward, he was presented to us as a tall, imposing, hawk-nosed figure who could blow up our world.

Now it appears he was an elderly man in a knitted cap, grandpa’s coverlet around his shoulder, trying to find the best picture of himself on television and eating watermelon for his kidney problems.

For years we thought we would find him in the deep caves of Afghanistan or in the sophisticated Pakistani city of Lahore. Instead, a man who supposedly knew the secrets of the Western world turns out to be more like the aging star of “Sunset Boulevard,� worried about how best to dye his graying hair.

Bin Laden’s mind was widely thought to have become stuck in medieval times, but his son Omar described him recently as constantly listening to the BBC. One of the Green parties in Europe also apparently missed a valuable member. In one audio statement, this mastermurderer spoke soberly of new approaches to relief work “because the number of victims is great due to climate changes in modern times.�

Only one thing is sure: Osama Bin Laden never stood outside the history of his region. Hasan Sabah, often called the “Old Man of the Mountain,� was only one of the Middle East’s twisted minds to precede bin Laden. From the crumbling castle of Alamut in northwestern Iran, Sabah, member of an offshoot faith of the Shiites in the 11th century, sent out “assassins� (the word comes

Georgie Anne Geyer Foreign affairs columnist

Universal Press Syndicate from “hashshashin,� which means “users of hashish�) to insert themselves in the courts of the era and, at the right moment, to stab to death most of the leaders of the region.

Once when I was in Persia before the Khomeini period, acting upon a literary and historical quest, I traveled to Alamut and climbed the crumbling ruins. I perched at the top for a time trying to figure out what it was that inspired Hasan Sabah. All I can calculate is that it must have been similar to whatever inspired that other deviant mind, bin Laden’s, in trying to wipe out Americans everywhere in the world.

It has been 10 years since this strange man took from us not only the lives of our fellow citizens on 9/11, but also our security in our transportation hubs, our confidence in ourselves and our financial sobriety. It was this creature who bred children like rabbits, yet could kill others’ children without the flick of an eye, and who at his death was planning still more abominations.

So it is important now to see his well-deserved death as posing questions for us on how to deal with threats like his in the future. These questions — military, intelligence and psychological — already have arisen, but they are far from answered.

After 9/11, the choice of George W. Bush’s administration was to deal with

bin Laden and al-Qaida by invading both Iraq and Afghanistan. This choice of two wars at the same time will go down in American history as a terrible mistake, for our enemies could far better have been dealt with through a combination of international intelligence and of the true counterinsurgency that we finally used. But President Bush and his war supporters were actually opting for all-out changes in the nations of the region.

Now bin Laden has been killed by that successful combination of intricate intelligence work and Navy SEALs helicoptering secretly into bin Laden’s grubby “mansion.� At the same time, the two traditional wars plod onward, and we must ask which choice was the best one. The answer seems obvious; yet, we know from past decisions made by American leaders that the obvious road is not always the road chosen.

We will have more Hasan Sabahs and Osama bin Ladens in the future. How will we deal with them?

Are we capable of developing and putting into effect other operations as sophisticated and effective as this one? Or will we insist upon sending 100,000 young American men and women to fight every time some maniac becomes empowered by a crazy dream?

Let us pray that the lessons from these Navy SEALs will provide the pathway to the future.

Obituaries John Thorp, 71

John Thorp, 71, of Brutus, died May 9, 2011, at the Cheboygan Hospice House in Cheboygan.

John was born on April 26, 1940, in Charlevoix, the son of William and Hulda (Reith) Thorp.

He graduated from Charlevoix High School in 1958 and in November of that year, John enlisted in the U.S. Navy where he served as a Radarman 3rd Class until he received his honorable discharge in August of 1962.

Following his return from military service, John attended North Central Michigan College in Petoskey, which is where he met his wife, Betty Jean Bayha.

On Nov. 28, 1964, John and Betty were married in Charlevoix, and together made their final home in Brutus. Betty preceded John in death on June 8, 2005.

John has worked as a Realtor since 1972 and in 2006, received the distinction as Realtor of the Year from the Emmet Association of Realtors. John was a member of the Mackinaw City Post 159 of the American Legion, served on the Michigan Board of Realtors in Lansing for several years, and for the last three years served as a board

member of the Emmet County Veterans Board.

John enjoyed hunting and fishing, and loved identifying birds and wildflowers, as well as studying the breakdown of nanoparticles.

John is survived by six children, Robert (Michelle) Thorp of Lansing, Colleen (Michael) Stout of Pellston, Betty Jean (Jim) Clymer of Cheboygan, John Thorp Jr. of Brutus, Leon Thorp of Oden and Lillian (David) Kalaczinski of Grand Rapids; seven grandchildren, Sandy, Luke, Ahna, Alexander, Roman, Erica, and Dean; one great-granddaughter, Savannah; four sisters, Thelma (John) Powell of Charlevoix, Wilma (Ron) Sitzema of Charlevoix, Agnes Christ of Charlevoix, and Alice (Chuck Bricker) of Petoskey; sister-in-law, Peggy Thorp of Charlevoix, and by several nieces and nephews.

Floyd William Giem

Floyd William Giem, beloved father, grandfather, brother, and uncle, went home to be with Jesus on May 9, 2011.

Floyd was born at the family’s Boyne Falls home on June 29, 1940, to William and Francis (Musil) Giem. His older siblings returned from picking strawberries to discover they had a new brother. Floyd graduated from Boyne Falls High School and worked for many years as a machinist.

On Aug. 11, 1962, he married Jeanette Ballenger and they shared 44 wonderful years raising a family, camping, gardening and spoiling grandchildren before her death Oct. 12, 2006.

Floyd truly loved the outdoors and was never happier than when he was in the woods. The family spent many fun-filled summer days camping at Grand Marais and Brevort in the Upper Peninsula. At home Floyd could be found in the woods all year long, often with one or both of his children, whether hunting and scouting for deer, picking mushrooms, cutting wood, or carrying a pole and bucket of worms back to the river.

He passed his love of nature on to his grandchildren. He gave each newborn grandchild a fishing pole before they even left the hospital, and spent many hours telling his thrilled young audience about his many outdoor adventures. Before they could

walk, he showed them how to find their first mushroom and pick their own blackberries.

As they grew older they loved working in his garden by his side, eating vegetables they helped plant, and walking the woods for hours, searching for fresh deer scrapes. The seeds he planted in all of them will continue to grow in his memory.

Floyd is loved and sorely missed by his son Ryan (Mindy) of Boyne City, daughter Yvonne (Andy) Forbell of Marquette, grandchildren Trenton, Eleri, Paxton, and Cambrynne, brother Cecil (Louise), sisters Lila (Bob) Smith, Alice (Gail) Reynolds, sister-in-law Charlene Giem, and several nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his parents and brother Wayne Giem.

The family asks memorial contributions be made to the American Cancer Society or Rugged Cross Outdoors, 1733 N. 9th St., Sheboygan, Wis. 53801.

Visitation will be 4-8 p.m. on Thursday, May 12, at Stackus Funeral Home in Boyne City.

The funeral service will be 11 a.m. Friday, May 13 at Walloon Lake Community Church.

A luncheon will immediately follow. Burial will take place at the Boyne Valley Township Cemetery in Boyne Falls.

Family and friends wishing to share a thought or memory of Floyd are encouraged to do so online at www.stonefuneralhomeinc.com.

Editor’s note:

As a tribute to our U.S. veterans, American flags will now be published with obituaries of veterans.

Bill was born March 8, 1921, in West Hoboken, N.J., the son of William Samuel and Katherine (Anderson) Frykberg.

At this time, gasoline was 11 cents per gallon. He grew up in Hackensack, N.J., with five siblings.

Following graduation from high school, Mr. Frykberg worked for Bendix Aviation Corporation in Bendix, N.J., as a journeyman toolmaker.

He married Virginia Walker and they had two children, Wendy and Randy. Virginia died in 1959.

Bill proudly served his country in the Army Air Corps during World War II as a gunner in a P-61 (Black Widow). After the war, he worked in the family bakery supply business in New Jersey until retirement in 1983.

Bill married Jeanne Moberg in 1965. They traveled extensively through the years, eventually moving to San Diego, Calif., the area he fell in love with during the service. He was an avid golfer and played many courses throughout the United States. He loved music and the Big Band sound. Many dancing lessons honed his dancing skills.

Upon Jeanne’s death in 2002, Bill moved to Boyne City, where he lived with his son, Randy, and daughter -inlaw, Diane. Here he became active in the Boyne Valley Garden Club, becoming a Master Gardener. He was often seen deadheading flowers throughout the city, riding his beloved John Deere tractor doing yard work at home or at the Greenhouse. One of his greatest loves was being a part of the Boyne Area Se-

Walking at work often involves waste

Continuous Improvement, also known as Kaizen in the Toyota Production System, involves the identification and elimination of waste. In the United States, this improvement process is called lean manufacturing ,but the benefits of the improvement process apply equally to the service industry and to all types of work activity, even to chores performed at home.

A wasteful activity consumes resources without adding value for the customer. So for example, at a restaurant when the waiter makes your salad in the kitchen, he is performing a value added service. However, walking between the kitchen and your table to deliver the salad is waste.

That is a non-value added activity. The greater the distance between the table and the kitchen and the more trips the waiter makes to complete the entire meal process, then the greater

Area framers place in competition

Two Charlevoix County framers recently were honored for their entries in the annual Print Frame Competition offered by Nelson’s Moulding and Frame of Traverse City.

Nelson’s is a wholesale distributor of moulding and framing supplies needed to produce framed pictures. It also offers educational opportunities for framers, along with the annual competition.

Georganne Monk, owner of Friar Tuck’s Gallery in Horton Bay, placed first in the expert category, which is open to previous winners of a framing competition and drew eight Monk competitors this year.

Monk was honored for her framing of a print by Al Hyams, “Tug on Betsie Bay.�

Hyams, an outdoor enthusiast, has been capturing landscapes and nature scenes for more than sixty years. Georganna created a beautifully framed piece using an acrylic tint to match the fillet to the outside frame, “recreating� the rippling effect of the tugboat sides. Georganna’s passion for preserving historical items led her to

the waste.

Books on the Toyota Production System usually define seven forms of waste, but the most common form that we all observe going on everywhere, every day, is wasted motion. And that wasted motion we observe is frequently in the form of walking.

Walking may be good for your heart but it doesn’t add value to the goods Kerry manufactured O’Tool or services provided by an employer.

A Kaizen improvement event involves the formation of a small team. The team closely observes, or even videotapes, all of the activity of employees as they perform certain tasks at work. The team then studies the process again and they separate all activity into value added versus

non-value added types.

Then suggestions are made so that the time spent on wasteful activities can be significantly reduced or eliminated.

This Kaizen process usually results in at least a 30 percent efficiency improvement the first time it is applied to repetitive tasks at work; and the improvements can often be implemented for little or no out-of-pocket cost. How efficient are your employees as they perform work related tasks? Think about the amount of wasteful walking you observe watching employees perform the following types of service: — In a restaurant, how many trips and how many steps does the average waiter take to fully service a 4-top table? — In a hotel, how many steps does the average housekeeping staff member take to change the linen and fully clean a two-bed room with bath?

or even a smaller land or water vehicle.

Unless those employees are also working with both hands on some value added activity (like playing an instrument as a member of a marching band), then the time spent walking is all wasted motion. You may not have an idea yet on how to eliminate that walking, but it is still a non-value added activity; and the employer should be able to shorten the distance or reduce the number of trips made each hour by those employees.

If you own or manage a business and your employees do a lot of walking then you have an opportunity to eliminate waste, improve your efficiency and the bottom line.

Gardening Wit and Wisdom

Segue into summer This is the time of year for transitional gardening. Our beautiful spring bulbs will soon begin to fade and buds are even now beginning to form on roses, flowering crabapple trees and other fruit producing plants. The seedlings we started three or more weeks ago are getting to a nice size and will be ready to go outdoors in a week or two to begin hardening off.

If you don’t take the time to harden off your tender seedlings you risk destroying all your careful efforts. Hardening off, means taking your sensitive plants outdoors for short periods of time to allow them to become accustomed to more intense light, winds and temperature variations. Begin by placing them in a protected place for one to two hours in the morning or early evening. GraduCydney ally increase the Steeb amount of time they remain outdoors. After about two weeks and if frost is no longer in the forecast, usually after Memorial Day, it will be safe to plant your seedlings in the garden.

If you’re not into moving your plants daily, and don’t have a greenhouse, consider building a cold frame. A cold frame is like a mini greenhouse and can be used to grow crops or harden off seedlings.

To extend your growing season in the spring and fall, crops like lettuce, spinach, radishes, carrots, onions, chard, mesclun and parsley can be grown in your cold frame. Seedlings can also be housed in a cold frame during the hardening off period, eliminating the need to move them daily.

A cold frame traps the sun’s heat through the sloping glass or plastic cover and holds the heat in place with its wood, cinder-block, straw, or metal frame. Plants are protected from the elements and the soil retains heat to keep the plants thriving. Ventilation is critical on hot days as plants can cook in a matter of minutes so be sure to slightly open your cold frame in the morning and close it up at night if temperatures are going to be below freezing.

Temporary cold frames can be made by laying old windows on bales of straw or across a metal fire ring like I do. If you are interested in making a more permanent cold frame, there are several examples available by searching “cold frame” on the Internet.

Another product I like to use with my cold frame is a floating row cover, also known as harvest guard. This product has many uses in the garden.

I use it on my cold frame to screen out intense sunlight and cooler breezes during hardening off. I have also used it to cover plants planted in the garden when we get a sudden frost warning. If you put tomato cages over seedlings when transplanted, you can easily drape the row cover over the cages. The floating row cover traps heat and moisture to produce bigger, better and earlier crops, like a mini greenhouse. Floating row cover is a gauze-like sheet and is sold at most garden centers.

The cost varies with the size purchased.

CHARLEVOIX

‘Willy Wonka’ coming to Charlevoix school stage The cast

Taylor Ackerman Charlevoix High School student

CHARLEVOIX — With its edible factory, bizarre candies and famous Oompa Loompas, it’s no wonder the movie “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” is a childhood favorite for many people.

So, when Charlevoix High School junior Jason Jones found out that “Willy Wonka,” the stage version of classic film, would soon be coming to the school’s auditorium, he was excited.

“It was a childhood favorite of mine,” Jason said, “I’m excited to play one of my favorite characters.”

Jason plays the character of Charlie Bucket, the young impoverished boy who finds one of five golden tickets to visit the famously strange Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory. He’s accompanied by four other lucky but hilarious children with overthe-top personalities and their equally out-of-this-world parents. The plot is that of Roald Dahl’s timeless story of the world-famous candy man and his quest to find an heir. This stage adaptation of the book, “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory,” will also feature songs from the classic 1970’s family film adaptation.

Jason is just one of many Charlevoix High School students involved in the show. For many students, such as senior Morgan McCarthy, who plays the tenacious Violet Beauregarde, Willy Wonka will be their last high school show.

“I love being on stage, and I’m excited. It’s going to be my last performance at CHS so it’s going to be big! The set is really huge and detailed, and the cast is great,” Morgan said. “I get to use a southern accent, chew gum, turn blue and blow up.”

Many cast members said that although some may view arts programs as unnecessary, the performing arts program’s existence is important to the future success of many Charlevoix High School students.

“It’s a great experience, being able to act. It’s what I want to do,” said sophomore Emma Julier-Hough.

Getting ready for the show the cast has been practicing four to five days a week, and typically from the end of the school

A group of Oompa Loompas, Hanna Julier (front) Rachel Thompson (middle) and (back, from left) Irah Dhaseleer, Mikayla Lowell, and Rebecca Habel take a break from rehearsals for the upcoming production of Willy Wonka Monday. day to around 6 p.m. During rehearsals the cast has worked with director Jodi Thompson, a professional choreographer, student choreographers, and a piano accompanist. The set crew and sound and lights people have also been participating in practices.

When asked about practices, the students agree they were often hectic, time-demanding,

and, at times, frustrating, but they also emphasize that when it’s over they’ll be glad they did it.

“It’s been stressful and long, but you can’t have a successful show without the rehearsals,” Morgan said, “It’s all worth it when you get on stage.”

The Charlevoix High School performing arts department will present “Willy Wonka“ at

7 p.m. on Saturday, May 14, and 2 p.m. on Sunday, May 15, at the Charlevoix High School auditorium. Tickets will be sold at the door for $5 per student and $7 per adult.

The audience will also have a chance to win prizes donated

by The Taffy Barrel, Murdick’s Fudge, Sadie and Jakes, and a grand prize basket from Kilwin’s of Charlevoix. In the spirit of the show, the prizes will be won by those who find golden tickets in the $2 candy bars sold at the door. Proceeds will benefit the performing arts program.

“We worked really hard on (the show),” sophomore Chris Young said, “And I know it will be awesome. I hope the whole community comes out to see us perform.”

To make your own hummer nectar, simply dissolve one part white granulated sugar in four parts water. No red food color needed and please no substitutions as these can make the birds sick. Orioles enjoy eating at hummer feeders too!

‘Marwencol’ showing at Carnegie The Petoskey Film Theater will be showing the documentary “Marwencol� at 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday and Friday, May 11 and 13, at the Petoskey District Library, Carnegie building.

Donations are appreciated. “Marwencol� won more than a dozen awards, including two Independent Spirit Awards and Best Documentary of the Year from Boston Society of Film Critics. “Marwencol� is a documentary about the fantasy

world of Mark Hogancamp.

After being beaten into a brain-damaging coma by five men outside a bar, Mark builds a 1/6th scale World War II-era town in his backyard. Mark populates the town he dubs “Marwencol� with dolls representing his friends and family and creates life-like photographs detailing the town’s many relationships and dramas.

Playing in the town and photographing the action helps Mark to recover his hand-eye coordination

and deal with the psychic wounds of the attack. When Mark and his photographs are discovered, a prestigious New York gallery sets up an art show. Suddenly Mark’s homemade therapy is deemed “art,� forcing him to choose between the safety of his fantasy life in Marwencol and the real world that he’s avoided since the attack.

Hoarding affects fellow condo owners

Dear Annie: I live in a small condominium community of 24 units.

Two units down, there is an older woman who is a hoarder. She continually has trash piled up by her front door and back porch. When you look through her glass sliding doors, you can see trash from floor to ceiling. She piles up garbage on her car, and it sits there for several days before she takes it to the Dumpster.

She also has two dogs, and we never see her walking them. This has been going on for the past 15 years.

The board of directors of our condo association has tried everything from call-

ing the county municipal department to notifying animal control.

The board has fined her for various misdeAnnie’s meanors, such Mailbox as not allowing pest control in her unit and leaving all that trash around, but it makes no difference.

The woman does not talk to anyone in the community, and we never see friends or family visit. We are all afraid of what that unit looks like inside. Any suggestions? — Condo Owner Dear Owner: Hoarding is a form of mental illness,

and this woman likely needs professional help. Since you can see the trash inside her home, as well as outside, it may constitute evidence that her hoarding has created a health code violation and the Departmen of Health could order her to clean it up.

There may also be a fire hazard, in which case the condominium board should notify the fire department. As a last resort, the condo board could sue her. Ask the board to discuss this problem with their association attorney to see what steps can be taken.

I would do best in a home with children over age 10 or no children. No cats or other dogs (older quiet dog may be ok). Someone with time to spend either walking, working cattle or truck driving with her (she loves all three). Someone with experience with herding breeds would be a plus.

BRUNO is looking for an active home where he will get plenty of exercise.

He is good with most dogs and okay with cats. He is friendly with children, though he may knock over small children in his excitement. If you’re looking for an active family dog then Bruno would be a good choice. He would beneďŹ t with a fenced-in yard so he’d have boundaries to keep safe.

AL is a large yellow lab mix that

came from Gary, Indiana. His poor face is full of scars from trying to get under fencing to see what was on the other side. Well, now he is neutered so he should stay in his own yard. He is such a gentle soul and would probably get along with most other dogs.

However, he isn’t good with cats.

Al hasn’t been at the shelter very long so we are not sure how he is with children, though his personality so far seems as though he would be ďŹ ne. Best Match: Al would do well in an average home, not too busy and not too quiet. He would need an electric fence for boundaries. Other dogs will probably be ďŹ ne if they are introduced properly. No cats.

TUCK Don’t I just look like the best dog ever? I am only ten months-old and have a very handsome brindle colored coat (red with black stripes). The thing I want more than anything in the world is someone to love me and give me the attention I so much deserve. I get along with other dogs and I just love people. The best home for me would be one in which I can receive a lot of attention and exercise (daily walks or runs). I’m not a high-energy dog, I just love to be loved and need the stimulation of someone’s attention. We could go for walks or hang out in the yard...as long as I’m receiving unconditional love that’s ďŹ ne with me. I do need a home without young children only because when I get excited I will jump and it may frighten young kids. I can easily be taught not to jump because I will sit when asked. I really am a great boy just looking for someone to love me.

er at Petoskey’s Kidd & Leavy Real Estate, an agency specializing in higher-end home transactions.

“We had our best year ever at Kidd & Leavy in 2010 and I’m predicting that we’re going to have another good year.”

Steve Andreae, broker/owner at RE/MAX of Charlevoix, said he also sensed an upward trend for the market overall, “and certainly for me, it’s been real busy for the first quarter.”

At Real Estate One of Petoskey, broker/owner C.T. Shuman said his agency’s sales trend through the first quarter reflected the slight gains seen for the local market overall.

Shuman said home sales at lower price points — in the $150,000 and lower range — have stayed fairly active, and there also has been noticeable demand for properties priced above $500,000.

Home sales at a glance A look at Northwest Michigan’s residential real estate sales trends through the first quarter of 2011, compared to year-ago levels. The figures are based on Multiple Listing Service sales data for Emmet, Charlevoix and Antrim counties, as well as some neighboring areas where local agents have completed transactions.

Period

January-March 201 January-March 2010 Number of residential sales 221 215 Average residential price $185,952 $184,739 Median residential price $116,500 $106,900 The middle range of the market, with homes priced at $250,000 to $500,000 — has remained more stagnant, he added.

Shuman said he’s noticed a decrease in the number of properties listed at his agency compared to a year ago. He believes this

may reflect people waiting to see if the market strengthens before moving up to a new home.

“I think that buyers that don’t have to sell are not selling,” he said.

On the flip side, Shuman noted that there seems to be some de-

Each of the companies has already submitted their respective schedules for the season, along with rates to the Mackinac Island City Council, which were approved last month.

Tuesday’s order temporarily suspends the public hearings scheduled for next week until further notice.

An administrative law judge in the case will now set a deadline for the filing of responses of the May 9 motion filed by Mackinac Island and a schedule for further proceedings, if required.

The Michigan Public Service Commission ruled in March that it does have the authority to investigate and regulate the rates, fees and other charges associated with the ferry companies.

That ruling dismissed a claim

by Mackinac Island that the city alone has that power.

Despite that ruling by the commission, the city of Mackinac Island approved changes to its ferry ordinance in March. Those changes include a price cap on tickets, a franchise fee increase from 2 and 2.5 percent to 7 percent that the ferry lines pay to the city and limitations on free

and discounted travel.

The owners of Shepler’s Mackinac Island Ferry said Tuesday that they praised the Michigan Public Service Commission for its part in helping the company get a franchise to operate this season, but also expressed disappointment that the public hearings will not go forward next week as planned.

“Nothing is more important to us than our ability to serve Mackinac Island residents and visitors, and to the extent that the commission’s ruling today helps us do that, we are grateful,” said Chris Shepler, vice president of Shepler’s. “While we had hoped to give our loyal supporters an opportunity to have their say at the public hearings next week, our heads and hearts are first and foremost in serving our customers.”

Shepler went on to say, “We appreciate the commission’s continuing leadership in ensuring that competition thrives in the Mackinac Island ferry industry.

We reserve the right to pursue the issue with the Michigan Public Service Commission again, should that prove necessary.”

FERRY FROM A1

iffs of the ferry companies. The commission scheduled the hearings with the hopes they would help it gauge the public’s sentiment with regard to issues and concerns presented by Shepler’s Mackinac Island Ferry back in February.

On Monday, May 9, Michael Cavanaugh, an attor ney who represents the city of Mackinac Island, filed a motion to dismiss the commission’s investigation entirely, citing the ferry franchise issue was now moot.

Cavanaugh asked that the case be dismissed because each of the ferry companies that sought a ferry franchise for the season — Arnold Shepler Transit Company, S h e p l e r ’s M a ck i nac Island Ferry and Star Line Mackinac Island Ferry — were all granted two-year franchises with the same terms and conditions. This year, Arnold Transit Company and Star Line Mackinac Island Ferry are working as one company, Northern Ferry Company.

Towne joins Boyne commission Sheri McWhirter (231) 439-9346 - smcwhirter@petoskeynews.com

B OY N E C I T Y — L i f e t i m e Boyne City resident Delbert Gene Towne is now a member of the Boyne City City Commission.

Members of the commission unanimously voted to appoint Towne to the board on Tuesday, following last month’s resignation of former mayor pro tem Dan Adkison. Adkison intended to move outside city limits, creating a vacancy through the end of his term.

To w n e ’ s a p p o i n t m e n t i s through November this year, when an election will determine who will take the seat for the remaining two years.

“I’ ll give it my best shot,” Towne said after he took the oath of office. “Thanks for everybody’s confidence.”

Commissioners briefly discussed how to decide the best candidate for the open spot before they appointed Towne.

Another potential candidate, Robert MacKenzie, said he is happy for Towne to serve on the board, but wanted officials to investigate all the options. If no official policy exists for determining the best candidate in this situation, one should be developed, he said.

Mayor Chuck Vondra said the decision to recommend Towne for the post was “far from arbitrary.” He personally considered

After cresting in Memphis, flooded Mississippi River takes aim at poverty-stricken Delta

VICKSBURG, Miss. (AP) — William Jefferson paddles slowly down his street in a small boat, past his house and around his church, both flooded from the bulging Mississippi River that has rolled into the Delta.

“Half my life is still in there,” he said, pointing to the small white house swamped by several feet of water. “I hate to see it when I go back in.”

The river was taking aim at one of the most poverty-stricken parts of the country after cresting Tuesday at Memphis, Tenn., just inches short of the record set in 1937.

Some low-lying Memphis neighborhoods were inundated, but the city’s high levees protected much of the rest of Memphis.

Jefferson’s neighborhood in Vicksburg, a historic Mississippi city and the site of a pivotal Civil

mand for fresh housing inventory to hit the market.

“It seems like right now there’s activity, there’s people looking,” he said. “We’re hoping that that translates to more sales the farther we get into the year.”

With the lackluster economy of the past few years, the presence of foreclosed properties on the market has had a restraining effect on real estate values locally and elsewhere. Short sales — in which lenders agree that a property can be sold at a price lower than the balance owed on the mortgage, rather than carrying the foreclosure process through — also have reined in market values somewhat, Shuman noted.

Andreae said he’s seen some movement in another direction during the early part of 2011.

“I’ve been involved in more

owner sales as opposed to bank sales,” he said. “It seems like there’s a little more of that activity.”

Even so, Andreae said foreclosures’ influence on the market probably won’t disappear. He noted that another wave of repossessions is predicted nationally, and that the local market could see the effect as well.

“We know the defaults are still out there, but they just haven’t hit the market,” Andreae said.

Shuman noted another recent challenge facing the market.

With few comparable transactions as reference points, he said appraisals sometimes aren’t showing a value that meets or exceeds a home’s asking price, as lenders typically require.

“I’ve had multiple deals fall apart this year because of the appraisals,” he said.

Recall targets Sen. Walker Brandon Hubbard (231) 439-9374 - bhubbard@petoskeynews.com

An effort aimed at recalling key Republican lawmakers is expanding its attention to Sen. Howard Walker, R-Traverse City.

The Committee to Recall Snyder, a political action committee, submitted a petition Monday to recall Walker to Grand Traverse County Clerk Linda Coburn.

T he petition language is subject to a review by the Grand T r ave r s e C o u n t y Election Commission for clarity, prior to signatures being collected.

The specimen pe- Walker tition, obtained by the News-Review from the Grand Traverse County Clerk’s Office, alleges “(Sen.) Howard Walker has proven himself unfit to represent the people of the 37th Michigan Senate District.”

Walker, whose 37th Senate District covers Antrim, Charlevoix, Cheboygan, Chippewa, Emmet, Grand Traverse, Mackinac and Presque Isle counties, is five months into his first term on the Michigan Senate and previously served three terms in the House.

Among the reasons the group cites for the recall is Walker’s support of the Emergency Financial Manager Bill passed into law in early 2011, which the group claims gives emergency financial manag-

ers “the power to invalidate, without court order, legal and binding contracts entered into duly elected local authorities.” Among other legislation the group opposes is Walker’s introduction of Senate Bill 174, authorizing cuts of $170 per pupil for public schools, which the senator sponsored as the chair of the Senate K-12 appropriation subcommittee.

The group, which filed for organization March 23, plans to collect 32,000 signatures by the Aug. 5, to put the recall question on the November 2011 ballot.

Walker said Wednesday morning, but said the recall effort was simply “part of the process.”

“I feel like I am representing the majority of the constituents down here,” Walker said, of his time in Lansing.

The group also began targeting House Speaker Jase Bolger, R-Marshall, this week by filing a recall petition in Calhoun County.

Republican Gov. Rick Snyder has also been targeted for recall by the group.

REDISTRICTING FROM A1

SHERI MCWHIRTER/NEWS-REVIEW

New Boyne City Commissioner Delbert Gene Towne takes the oath of office on Tuesday from city clerk Cindy Grice. who ran for the office in the last election and who had the most availability for the post, Vondra said.

City manager Michael Cain said the city charter doesn’t have a specific policy for the circumstance, just a time frame within which such an appointment must be made. Boyne City’s last midterm vacancy like this occurred in the 1980s, Cain said.

Towne is a retired quality supervisor at East Jordan Iron Works, where we worked for

more than 38 years.

“I want to represent the residents and their best interests,” Towne said.

Vondra said he’s pleased Towne joined the board.

“He’s a great guy and a lifetime Boyne City resident. He has time to commit and he’s a common sense guy,” Vondra said.

The next commission meeting will be at noon on Tuesday, May 24. The board is expected to discuss the city’s facility needs at that meeting.

Briefs War battle, has been one of the hardest hit. Jefferson refuses to leave, so he spends his days in the sweltering sun watching the water rise and sleeping in a camper at an intersection that’s likely to flood soon, too.

“This is what I do every day. Just watch the water.”

Poll: Obama’s approval rating hits highest point in 2 years WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama’s approval rating has hit its highest point in two years — 60 percent — and more than half of Americans now say he deserves to be re-elected, according to an Associated PressGfK poll taken after U.S. forces killed al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden.

In worrisome signs for Republicans, the president’s standing im-

proved not just on foreign policy but also on the economy, and independent Americans — a key voting bloc in the November 2012 presidential election — caused the overall uptick in support by sliding back to Obama after fleeing for much of the past two years.

Comfortable majorities of the public now call Obama a strong leader who will keep America safe. Nearly three-fourths — 73 percent — also now say they are confident that Obama can effectively handle terrorist threats.

And he improved his standing on Afghanistan, Iraq and the United States’ relationships with other countries.

Despite a sluggish recovery, 52 percent of Americans now approve of Obama’s stewardship of the economy, giving him his best rating on that issue since the early days of his presidency; 52 percent also now like how he’s handling the nation’s stubbornly high 9 percent unemployment.

year.

“I am very pleased with the way it turned out,” said Cheryl Potter Browe, county clerk.

All counties must draw new district lines each decade following the release of the nation’s census figures, according to federal law.

The Charlevoix County Apportionment Commission had five members, including Browe, county treasurer Marilyn Cousineau, county prosecutor John Jarema, county Republican Party chairman Tim Boyko and county Democratic Party chairman Ken Allen.

The new map also includes just one municipality split, unlike current district lines.

The split involves the 27 residents of Evangeline Township north of Shadow Trails Road, who will now be included in District 1 with Hayes, Bay and Melrose townships, rather than District 2 with the rest of Evangeline Township and Boyne City.

Otherwise, the new district lines follow city and township boundaries.

“It’s the first time in many, many years that we’ve only had one split,” Browe said. “I’m tickled that we got all the cities and most townships put back together.”

One major change is the combination of most of the existing districts 5 and 6, meaning commissioners Robert Drebenstedt and Richard Gillespie will be in the same district.

District 5 currently includes Marion and Eveline townships, along with the majority of Wilson Township. The new boundary includes Norwood, Marion, Eveline, Peaine and St. James townships.

District 6 currently includes Peaine, St. James and Norwood townships, along with the southern portions of both the city of Charlevoix and Charlevoix Township. New District 6 boundaries will now include all of Charlevoix Township and the city of Charlevoix, where no current commissioner resides.

“It is wide open,” Browe said.

A former county commissioner sees the change as a possible opportunity to get back on the board.

Shirley Roloff lost the 2010 election to Gillespie. She lives within the new District 6 boundaries.

“I don’t really know. I might consider it,” Roloff said. “That looks pretty interesting.”

Drebenstedt said the redistricting outcome is unexpected.

“I was very surprised. I was hoping to gain Norwood, but I did not think I would go offshore to Beaver Island,” he said.

Gillespie, who lives on the island, said it’s unfortunate the new map throws him and Drebenstedt into the same race for a seat on the board. However, it does make sense to have all of the city of Charlevoix and Charlevoix Township together in the same district, he said.

“I wish the island would have gone together with it, though,” Gillespie said.

The only district that remained unchanged is District 4, which includes both South Arm Township and East Jordan. Board chairman Joel Evans represents that district.

Finally, District 3 currently includes all of the village of Boyne Falls, Melrose, Chandler, Hudson and Boyne Valley townships, along with portions of Wilson Township. It will become the village, along with all of Chandler, Hudson, Boyne Valley and Wilson townships. Commissioner Ron Reinhardt represents that district.

Browe said the new district lines have practical advantages.

Election results will be less muddled among the townships and the expense to print multiple ballots for several townships will now diminish, she said.

“We were most excited to come up with that,” Browe said.

All six commissioner seats will be up for grabs on the 2012 ballot to represent the newly drawn districts.

Emmet County’s redistricting process is not yet completed.

Diamond gems

■ Romanick’s no-hitter, Waterson’s

one-hitter lead Petoskey to sweep

GAYLORD — Two Petoskey pitchers, two gems.

And two more wins.

David Waterson threw a onehitter in the opener and Tyler Romanick followed with a no-hitter in the nightcap Tuesday as the Northmen swept Gaylord, 15-0, 4-0, in a Big North Conference baseball doubleheader.

With the sweep, the Northmen improve to 12-2 overall and 4-0 in the league. They play a non-league twinbill at Traverse City St. Francis on Thursday, May 12, then welcome Remus Chippewa Hills and Mount Pleasant for their 22nd annual invitational at Turcott Field on Saturday, May 14.

Romanick struck out 13 and walked two in firing his no-no in

Tuesday’s second game. Waterson struck out six in the opener, which was called after four innings because of the mercy rule.

“To give up one hit in two games is a great experience for our pitchers,” Petoskey coach Shawn Racignol said. “The key was to establish the strike zone, on the inner half of the plate, making it very difficult to hit.”

Waterson had three hits and an RBI and Hunter Stinger had two hits and four RBI to lead the Northmen at the plate in the opener.

Romanick smacked a two-run triple, Dillon Kelley had two hits and one RBI, and Austin Panoff See BASEBALL on PAGE B3 NEWS-REVIEW FILE PHOTO

Petoskey senior Tyler Romanick fired a 13-strikeout no-hitter Tuesday, leading the Northmen to a Big North Conference baseball sweep of Gaylord.

BASEBALL Porcello sharp in Tigers’ 10-2 win over Twins MINNEAPOLIS — The Detroit Tigers are on, and their starting pitching has been the catalyst.

Rick Porcello wouldn’t let an hourlong rain delay get in the way of the groove.

Victor Martinez had three hits and four RBIs to push the Tigers past Francisco Liriano and the Minnesota Twins in a 10-2 victory on Tuesday, the seventh in eight games for Detroit.

With Max Scherzer and Justin Verlander leading the charge, Tigers starters are tied with the defending American League champion Texas Rangers for the most wins this season from the rotation with 16. They have 25 quality starts of six innings or more and three runs or less in 37 games.

Jhonny Peralta’s two-run homer in the second inning ended Liriano’s bid for back-to-back no-hitters, and the left-hander’s outing was over after three innings due to a lingering illness.

Brennan Boesch drove in two runs for the Tigers, who have won four straight. Porcello (3-2) pitched five crisp innings, allowing one run and three hits.

NASCAR Busch, Harvick fined, placed on probation

SOFTBALL

Easy sweep

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Kyle Busch and Kevin Harvick were fined $25,000 apiece and put on probation Tuesday by NASCAR for their actions on pit road at Darlington Raceway.

The probation for all NASCARsanctioned events runs through June 15, a span that includes four Sprint Cup Series championship races and the non-points $1 million All-Star event. It also includes Friday night’s Truck Series race at Dover — an event Harvick only entered after his confrontation with Busch.

Busch and Harvick’s on-and-off feuding resumed Saturday night after contact Busch had with Harvick led to Harvick wrecking with teammate Clint Bowyer late in the race.

Afterward, Harvick waited for Busch and then positioned himself to park his car in front of Busch on pit road. Busch pulled onto Harvick’s bumper, Harvick climbed from his car and, just as he threw a punch into Busch’s window, Busch used his car to bump Harvick’s car out of the way.

■ Northmen

outscore Gaylord, 31-2, in taking two

GAYLORD — They brought both the focus and the intensity.

They also earned a decisive sweep.

The Petoskey High School softball team earned a Big North Conference sweep over Gaylord Tuesday as they topped the Blue Devils, 20-1, 11-1, to improve to 9-10 overall, 2-2 league.

Kristen Espinoza homered in both games to lead a balanced Petoskey attack, while senior Carly Searles was dominating in the pitching circle in the sweep.

“The girls just brought it,” Petoskey coach Dave Serafini said.

“We had good offensive production from everybody and everybody hit the ball well, especially the first game.”

Espinoza had three hits including her first homer of the day in game one. The Northmen scored 10 runs in the seventh inning to win going away.

Annie Hansen led all Petoskey hitters with four hits including a double and drove in three runs, while Searles, Ellen Loper, Reilly Philliben, Caitlin Strobel and Shannon Cosens had two hits apiece. Both of Cosens’ hits were doubles.

“We took advantage of fensively and I have to give our hitting coach, Mike Loper, a lot of credit,” Serafini said. “Our players have really bought into his hitting philosophies and they’ve done a great job. Since the Grand Rapids tournament, things have clicked for us.”

Also for Petoskey, which opened the game with a six-run first, Amy Cunningham, Jenna Wood and Tori Thompson had one hit apiece.

Searles struck out 15, walked two and scattered three hits for the victory.

EAST LANSING — Michigan State says sophomore offensive tackle David Barrent has decided to forgo his final three years of eligibility because of chronic lowerback problems.

Barrent will remain on scholarship while not counting toward the NCAA’s 85-man scholarship limit.

The 6-foot-8, 308-pound Barrent earned his first letter last season after appearing in seven games, mainly on special teams. The redshirt freshman played behind left tackle D.J. Young.

EL SEGUNDO, Calif. — Lakers center Andrew Bynum has been suspended for the first five games of next season for his flagrant foul on Dallas guard J.J. Barea in Los Angeles’ final playoff game.

The NBA announced the suspension Tuesday, two days after Bynum was ejected for the foul in the two-time defending champions’ 36-point loss to the Mavericks in Game 4.

The NBA also fined Bynum $25,000 for ripping off his jersey while heading to the locker room.

Bynum hit Barea with an elbow while the Dallas guard drove to the basket in the fourth quarter. Barea wasn’t seriously hurt, but stayed on the court for an extended time.

SOCCER FROM B1

4-0-1 Tuesday with a 1-0 win over T.C. Central.

“Another big league game Thursday with T.C. Central at Click,” Petoskey coach Zach Jonker said. “They (Central) need a win to stay in the league race and we’ll have to be ready from the start to match their intensity.”

The Northmen defeated Central, 3-1, in Traverse City earlier this season.

“But a majority of the game was played at 1-1,” Jonker said. “It will be a fun environment to compete in on Thursday.”

On Tuesday, Kelsey Ance opened the scoring 25 minutes in when she cleaned up a Gabbi VandenBrink deflection from 5 yards out.

Ance scored again with just six seconds remaining in the half after VandenBrink subtly flicked a pass from Holly Laser behind the Cadillac defense for Ance to move in alone on the goalkeeper.

“We were able to dominate possession from the beginning of the game and put Cadillac under Immense pressure,” Jonker said. “We made Cadillac chase the ball for long stretches.”

Jonker added the condition and turf and field dimensions at Click Road played into the Northmen’s strengths.

“We did a great job of taking advantage of the beautiful conditions,” Jonker said.

“The Petoskey High School Soccer Program is indebted to Gary Hunter for all the work he puts in to make sure we get to play on the nicest field in Michigan.

“Our timing and decisionmaking in the final third of the field needs to improve so that we can become more efficient at finishing our chances,” he added. “The game schedule begins to ease up as we approach districts, and tightening up our play in front of our goal will be a major point of emphasis.”

Senior Kate Johnson earned the shutout in goal for the Northmen, while Jonker lauded the defensive efforts from Emily Lancaster, Maire Carmody, Mackenzie Kelbel, Hayley Fettig and Zola Murray.

“Emily Lancaster played an outstanding game in her outside back position,” Jonker said.

Carmody and Kelbel took turns shadowing Cadillac’s top player, Saginaw Valley State-signee Olivia Perin, and “did well to limit her chances,” Jonker said. “Hayley Fettig and Zola Murray had great synergy down the left side of the field and cre-

Red Wings goalie Jimmy Howard celebrates beating San Jose, 3-1, to tie NHL playoff series, 3-3, on Tuesday at Joe Louis Arena in Detroit.

Game 7 is Thursday in San Jose.

ASSOCIATED PRESS

Game 7 WHAT: Red Wings at San Jose Sharks in Game 7 of the NHL WesternConference semifinals.

WHEN: 9 p.m. Thursday, May 12 TV: Versus WINNER: Advances to Western Conference final against Vancouver. The best-of-7 series begins Sunday, May 15, in Vancouver. couver. Philadelphia came all the way back last year in the second round, winning the final four games against Boston.

Those recent successes make the task now seem much less daunting.

“One of the things we’re fortunate to have is the leadership and the calmness of the guys who are a bit older,” Red Wings defenseman Niklas Kronwall said. “They have been around. There’s no panic at any time. We just stuck to the game plan for 60 minutes. That’s the only way you can do it. If you don’t believe, then you’re done.”

Skating with confidence and desperation, the Red Wings outshot San Jose 45-25, but they were on the

elimination after Couture batted a rebound out of midair and the puck trickled past goalie Jimmy Howard with 16:06 remaining. The puck barely crossed the goal line before Howard covered it with his glove, but the goal stood after a review.

San Jose’s lead was shortlived, and now the Sharks head back to California with only one more chance to close out the series.

“Just ask Detroit. They lost three in a row and their confidence wasn’t frayed,” San Jose forward Joe Thornton said. “We’re a confident group, still. You work 82 games to get home ice in these Game 7s. Now we just have to make it work.”

The Red Wings outplayed the Sharks from the start. At the midway point of the first period, Detroit had an 11-1 edge in shots, to the delight of the home crowd that had given the Red Wings a standing ovation when they took the ice.

“We put up an embarrassing effort. It’s nothing to do with Xs and Os. It’s about whatever it takes to get yourself ready,” Sharks defenseman Douglas Murray said.

“This was unacceptable, but we have to move away from it. We’ve got an important game Thursday.”

From a single spot on shore, a fisherman can cast so many times before he runs out of water to cover. From there, it’s either wait the fish out with a worm and bobber, move on to another spot, or go home.

The thing is, shore fishing opportunities can be pretty limited. WherChris ever there is Engle a shortage of campgrounds, boat launches or parks, land-based fishing spots can too fall short. This is disappointing, especially for boatless families whose kids want to explore the sport of fishing.

Luckily, Northern Michigan is blessed with lots of places to wet a line from the shoreline. Spend a few minutes looking at the area on a road atlas, or at a local snowmobile trails map, and a dozen or more such spots will reveal themselves as state parks, forest campgrounds, boat launches and roadways crossing rivers and streams.

This time of year, shore anglers seem to spring up like crazy, and I get just as excited to see them as I do when I spot the first green shoots sprout from the flowerbed. It means this nearly seven-month-long winter is finally giving way to life and activity, even if that activity is casting from a seemingly fish-barren sandy beach.

But it’s not at all pointless.

In fact, just by getting out fishing, you’ve increased your odds of catching a fish tremendously over the guy sitting on his couch watching baseball, or the lady raking the gravel off her front lawn.

By going fishing, you’ve greeted spring with open arms and an attitude that says, “Dang, that was a long winter. Hand me a pole.”

Fishing from shore actually has its benefits. May is a particularly good time of year for it because sport fish like walleye and pike have already spawned and are cruising the slightly warmer shallows looking for baitfish to eat. Later in the month, bass will be preparing their spawning beds and will slurp up any jig or worm that passes too close to their territory. Panfish are always an option on smaller lakes, and back-road stream crossings are excellent spots for catching trout without even getting a foot wet. These are all places rarely or never visited by boat anglers, giving shore casters a leg up on their water-borne competition.

It’s awesome to see parks cater to shore anglers. At Otsego Lake State Park near Gaylord, a 20-foot long, floating, Tshaped fishing pier grants anglers a unique fishing opportunity to catch six species or more in a single day. Hartwick Pines State Park has fishing platforms on two small trout lakes. Many Department of Natural Resources public accesses have docks that make fine fishing platforms and serve as shelter for young fish. State forest campgrounds have sites close enough to the water where an angler can grill a hot dog and watch his line at the same time. Try doing that in a boat ... actually, don’t. Just take my word.

This spring, flip open your atlas or unfold your trail map, pick out a spot, pick up some bait and go fishing. Winter was way too long to spend spring on the couch or, worse yet, raking gravel off the lawn.

The fish are waiting.

THE ‘STURGEON GENERAL’S’ WARNING:

Let us do what nature intended Morgan Sherburne

(231) 439-9394 - msherburne@petoskeynews.com

The biology is straightforward — each spring, from late April to late May, lake sturgeon leave Black Lake to swim up Black River, where they spawn in gravelly shallows.

But during this period, the sturgeon, focused on their reproductive task, are especially vulnerable to poachers. So one woman has tasked herself with forming a group in order to protect the prehistoric-looking fish, which can live as long as a century, grow to eight feet in length, and weigh up to 800 pounds.

The group is Sturgeon For Tomorrow, and their leader, Brenda Archambo, is an ice-angler-turned-activist who lives on Black Lake.

The people who volunteer for her call her the Sturgeon General, and on the Black River in Cheboygan County, as she stands guard over spawning sturgeon, the title fits. As the general sat at a picnic table overlooking a gravel-lined straightaway on the Black, Archambo can remember the first time she saw the fish.

She was a little girl, ice-fishing with her grandfather on Burt Lake.

“I remember the excitement, just the aura of everything,” said Archambo. “We were sitting in the shanty. We just heard yelling and screaming and all this commotion. There was a bunch of people standing next to their shanty on the ice, and there was this big fish there ... I was six, I was small, but I looked into the eye of the fish. They’re diamond-shaped, and it reminded me of pictures of dinosaurs I had seen. I always remembered that.”

In the years following, Archambo would pilgrimage to the Kleber Dam, on the Black River, just outside of Tower, Mich., to see the shy sturgeon during their vulnerable spawning season.

“They’re oblivious,” said Ann Feldhauser, a resident of the Upper Peninsula’s Skandia and volunteer coordinator for the organization. “The researchers were in the water and were working on a fish. When they got done, they released it, took one or two steps, and picked up another one.”

Female sturgeon begin spawning between the ages of 13 and 30 and spawn once every four to seven years, while male sturgeon begin spawning between the ages of 12 to 20 and spawn once every two to four years.

BRANDON HUBBARD/NEWS-REVIEW

As lake sturgeon from Black Lake in Cheboygan County move up the Black River to spawn, they sometimes porpoise, belly-flopping out of the water. speaks of are students from Michigan State University, who tag the fish to determine how many and how often the sturgeon come back to spawn.

At the turn of the 19th century, sturgeon were harvested to near extinction. Fishermen saw them as pests that became entangled in fishing nets. Stur-

geon were stacked, burned or used as livestock fodder.

When people began to seek out the fish’s eggs for caviar, attitudes changed, and by the late 1800s, the sturgeon population was at less than one percent of its historic population level.

Today, sturgeon are protected under the Endangered Species Act, and are extirpated — locally extinct — in some river systems across Michigan, said Archambo.

That nearly included the Black River system. In approximately 1995, the state conducted a study on Black Lake and found the sturgeon population had seriously declined. All harvesting of the fish was to end.

“If there was that bad of a problem, let’s deal with it right here, right now. Come to find out, there was a poaching problem,” said Archambo.

Anglers came together from all over the Great Lakes to support sturgeon spawning in the Black.

“It might seem odd, but this is how they felt: it would be like the fireworks out of the Fourth of July or Santa out of Christmas. To them, it was that sacred,” said Archambo. “It wasn’t right or wrong, it was just what they were saying.”

So, in 1999, Archambo founded Sturgeon For Tomorrow. Since then, her organization has collaborated with the Michigan Department of Natural Resources and Michigan State University, among other groups, to not only guard the spawning sturgeon, but also to restore spawning habitat for the fish.

And their ef forts seem to be working. Now, the group is finding smaller fish, whereas 10 to 15 years ago, studies found only old fish — which means little or no reproduction was occurring, said Archambo.

“Over the last 13 years, we’re beginning to see younger fish,” she said. “Over the course of the last 10 years, there’s been approximately 1,000 fish tagged, which is fantastic.”

For information regarding volunteering with Sturgeon For Tomorrow, particularly between now and the end of May, contact Brenda Archambo at (231) 625-2776 or sign up for a shift online at www.sturgeonfortomorrow.org.

Outdoor report Mark Lindsay Outdoor writer

Warmer weather and dryer conditions have clearly increased the fishing action across Northern Michigan this week.

Rivers and inland lakes have approached normal water levels and cleared up in most central Michigan waters through the weekend. Anglers reported success with most species, although some areas were still in better condition then others.

Pier and shore fishing seems to be where the action has stayed, with reports of good catches on several lakes. Perch especially have been good in Lake Charlevoix with fishermen reporting successes in the shallows. Most lakes are seeing good catch rates with a mix of steelhead and browns, brighter colored baits seem to be the most effective.

Steelhead fishing is slowing down as they leave the gravels and fall back, fair to good catch rates overall were still reported in most areas through the weekend. Steelhead action is going fast pretty much everywhere, and will be entirely gone soon.

Sucker action has also slowed significantly and fishermen

were reporting catches but finding most areas empty.

As the general statewide trout season begins, the newly adopted regulation changes take effect. According to the DNR, these are some of the most significant changes made since the concept of stream types was initiated.

Perhaps the most significant change is to Type 1: Whereas the length limits on brook trout and brown trout were previously seven inches in the Upper Peninsula and eight inches in the Lower Peninsula, the DNR adopted statewide regulations — seven inches for brook trout and eight inches for browns.

The changes this season also includes about 80 more miles of stream that have been moved into the gear-restricted category.

None of the new gear-restricted stream segments were proposed

by DNR staff. All changes were made based on recommendations from the public, who nominated more than 1,300 miles of streams for inclusion in the gear-restricted category.

The new regulations were the result of requests from anglers and angler groups for more of these waters. The process included public nomination of streams for inclusion in the

gear-restricted waters, a review of the nominations by the DNR and a citizens’ advisory group that considered both the biological and social implications of the new restrictions. There were also public discussions of those recommendations at three Natural Resources Commission meetings.

The additional 80 miles of gear-restricted streams include some additional segments of streams that already had gear restrictions as well as several new streams.

The gear restricted streams can be found in the 2011 Michigan Fishing Guide and online at www.michigan.gov/fishingguide.

Now is the time to get your application for a 2011 bear or elk license. The direct contacts for information on these are: Adam Bump (bear), (517) 3731263; Brent Rudolph (elk), (517) 641-4903 or Mary Dettloff, (517) 335-3014.

There will be 155 elk licenses available for the 2011 hunting season, of which 90 licenses will be distributed for the August/ September hunt and 65 licenses for the December hunt. The October hunt period will not be utilized during the 2011 season.

The August/September hunt is designed to target elk outside the primary elk range before these elk move for the breeding season. The December hunt will occur in the core elk range and also allows additional harvest outside the core area.

There will be 11,742 bear hunting licenses available for the 2011 hunting season, with license quotas remaining the same as 2010. If any licenses remain after the drawing, one leftover license may be obtained on a first-come, first-served basis in July until the quota is met in each hunt period. There is no guarantee that leftover licenses will be available for any hunt unit or hunt period.

Hunters are reminded to apply for the Pure Michigan Hunt.

Increase your odds of getting a bear and elk license by applying for the 2012 Pure Michigan Hunt drawing. Three lucky winners will receive a hunt package that includes a bear and any elk license. By applying, you will not impact your preference points or weighted chances. Only $4 for each application; apply as many times as you would like at www. michigan.gov/puremichiganhunt.

Learn to fish at the Oden State Fish Hatchery Kids can get a taste of all aspects of fishing at the free children’s fishing clinic Saturday.

The Miller Van Winkle Chapter of Trout Unlimited, along with the Michig an De par tment of Natural Resources and Friends of the Oden State Fish Hatchery, will host the clinic on Saturday, May 14, at the Oden State Fish Hatchery in Oden.

The event will be comprised of several different learning stations, including lear ning about basic fly tying, the bugs that fish eat, knot tying, conservation and ethics, live bait and fly casting. Groups of kids will rotate through the stations throughout the day.

But the biggest draw is sure to be fishing on the trout pond,

on which children can test the fishing skills they have learned throughout the day.

The resident fish in the pond are retired brood stock for the hatchery, and there are guaranteed to be a few lunkers waiting to be caught.

The all-day event will run from 9 a.m.-3 p.m., and lunch will be provided. Please be ad-

vised that the event is an outdoors one, so weather-appropriate dress is recommended.

T o r e g i s t e r, c a l l B r i a n Kozminski at (231) 675-1237.

Re g i s t r a t i o n i s l i m i t e d t o fourth- through eighth-grade children. The event will take place at the hatchery’s visitor center, which is located at 3377 U.S. 31 in Oden.

Grace Potter

Glammed-up

Grace Potter makes a star turn Nekesa Mumbi Moody AP Music Writer

NEW YORK — Grace Potter is in the middle of an electrifying concert with her band, the Nocturnals, performing retro-rock grooves from their breakthrough album, when she takes what seems like a surprising detour and launches into a Beyonce song.

“Why don’t you love me? Tell me, baby, why don’t you love me?” Potter howls as she does a rendition of the Beyonce jam so pitch-perfect she seems to have morphed into the diva.

She’s wearing a mini-dress and stiletto heels that Beyonce might rock, shaking her long blond hair from side to side.

The only big difference between the two singers: Potter has a guitar strapped around her body.

It’s taken years for Potter to release her inner-Beyonce, but it’s a transformation that Potter felt was necessary if she and the Nocturnals were going to fully realize their rock ‘n’ roll dreams.

“I think part of my growing up and part of my improvement as a frontwoman was finally embracing that spirit and that animal instinct to own it up there,” says Potter, speaking backstage before the band’s recent capacitycrowd concert at New York City’s Irving Plaza.

“It took a lot of years for me to get comfortable, strutting my stuff, dancing like a fool, having that sparkly dress on that says ‘here I am,”’ she ac-

knowledges. “Because in the beginning, I was scared — I was scared that I wasn’t going to be taken seriously.”

It’s hard not to take Potter seriously now. The band has had a breakthrough year since the release of their self-titled album last summer, and the 27-year-old Potter, as the Nocturnals’ sexyglammed up frontwoman, is poised for her own star-making turn.

“If you’re looking at female artists, there are very few emerging right now that do what she does,” says Rick Krim, VH1’s executive vice president, talent and music programming. “She’s got an amazing voice, and a great stage presence. She’s fun, she’s entertaining and she’s got a great personality. It’s a great package.”

VH1 picked the Nocturnals as one of the acts to watch last year, and promptly added them to its “VH1 Divas Salute the Troops” concert in December. The group’s performance of their sultry single “Paris (Ooh La La)” riveted the crowd; album sales increased 113 percent after the concert aired, VH1 said.

This summer, the band’s profile will continue to rise.

The Nocturnals are booked for major festivals this summer, including their first appearance on the main stage of the Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival in Manchester, Tenn.

They are also planning their own festival, Grand Point North, in Burlington, Vt.
