GRAYLING -- The 53rdannual Grayling Buck Pole isnow in the record books witha Tuesday opener showinggood numbers of bucksbeing taken in the Crawford
County area.This years event started with temperatures near 40degrees on the morning ofthe first day and lower tem-peratures on the second day.First-day activity was right atthe same level as the yearbefore with 18 deer hung by 5p.m. Anyone arriving on thefirst day with a deer after 5 isallowed to hang their buckon day two. One hunter justmissed the deadline but wasback on Wednesday. The sec-ond day saw 12 deer beinghung, an increase from eighton day two in 2010.
For almost 20 years theCamp Grayling Conservation
Club has sponsored andstaffed the running of theBuck Pole. Hunters areawarded prizes in variouscategories such as first buckfor the day or youngesthunter. The deer are not only
weighed but the antlers aremeasured and a scoring sys-tem that takes into consider-ation total spread, number ofpoints, and length of pointsassigns a score used to deter-mine the best buck of the twodays. The overall winnerreceives a new scoped hunt-ing rifle. It is possible to win aprize in more than one cate-gory.
Jack Millikin, owner ofSkips Sport Shop, stated wehave some nice deer broughtin this year with manyhunters having better luckthan my own so far forfirearm deer season 2011.
The Buck Pole at Skips is asecond-generation structurereplacing the wooden poleused for many years. ThisPuck Pole is made of steel
and features a rear platformand electric winch thatmakes weighing and scoringthe deer much easier. Back inthe day you did most of your
work from a ladder that was
moved back and forth thatwas not only time consumingbut sometimes slightly dan-gerous due to snow. It wasnot uncommon to pull a deerup with the rope and pulleysystem and then slip andslide across the parking lot inthe snow as the weight of thedeer pulled back.
Starting out the first day was an out-of-breath TimMoore, who rushed in withthe first buck at 8:40 a.m. Atthe end of the first day theheaviest deer was 187pounds and it also had thehighest antler score of 145 inches, shot by Don Handy ofGrayling. The youngest
hunter, Dallas Johnson, wasonly 14 years of age and theoldest hunter, Bob Prause,
was 72. The first woman wasveteran hunter CarrieLaMotte and she was excitedto FINALLY be the firstfemale.
Tuesday, the second day ofthe season, greeted hunters
with 30-degree weather atdawn accompanied bycloudy skies. The first buckon day two arrived at 10:30and it was taken by JohnGalloway. The days oldesthunter was Dale Clyma, whostuck around to help hang afew deer.
The first woman to bring ina buck on day two wasKristina Tennant and the
youngest hunter was AlexThomson. Tom Rademakerand Trent Priest, both from
Alma, were hunting uptoward Deward and baggedtheir bucks within an hour ofeach other. Adding their deerto the pole pushed the 2011total deer count past the 2010
take by one deer.At close to 4 p.m. Chelsea
Partello arrived adding onemore to the total with a 130-pound buck. As the minutesticked away with less than anhour to go two huntersarrived with the two largestbucks of the opener. JeffStiver of Roscommonbrought a 160-pound buckthat scored out with 147,
which would be the bestscore for the next 10 minutes.Mark Mikowski of
Williamsburg hung the lastbuck of the day, weighing atotal of 159 pounds, but witha winning rack score of 155 for the best rack of the two-day opener.
One minute before the
Buck Pole closed 11-year-oldMallory Hatfields father slidinto the parking lot with aspike horn his daughter hadshot off from Military Road.Mark Mikowski won aRemington Model 700, .270caliber with a Tasco 3x9x40scope for having the BestBuck of 2011.

The Pellstonvolleyball team was seekingits fourth straight berth in theClass D Final Four at theKellogg Arena in Battle Creekbut came one victory shy ofthat goal, losing to undefeat-ed Crystal Falls Forest Park infour games on Tuesday, Nov.15, in the quarterfinals at
Manistique.Pellston won game one
against the Trojans 25-21 butlost the next three games byscores of 25-15, 25-13 and 25-20. The Hornets endedanother notable volleyballseason with an outstanding47-11-5 record while ForestPark improved to 36-0-4.Pellston repeated as Ski
Valley Conference champ forthe second year in a row as
well as adding district andregional championship tro-phies to the burgeoning
school display case for thefifth year in a row.
Pellston coach Chris Myersdid not offer any excusesafter the quarterfinal loss,giving the Trojans credit forplaying a better match.Pellston swept Forest Park inthe 2010 quarterfinals butthis time around it was theteam from the U.P. comingout on top.Hornet senior outside hitterTayler Friend, who conclud-ed another All-State caliberseason and leaves the pro-
gram as one of the top play-ers ever to come through
Pellston, led the way up frontonce again, rapping out 17kills with 10 digs even thoughshe drew Forest Park defend-ers like magnets every timeshe went into attack mode.Fellow senior and fellowthree-year varsity starterSamantha McNitt also fin-ished a brilliant prep careerat Manistique. McNitt wasMcMarvelous as setter onefinal time for the Hornets,accumulating 32 assists in
the match. Shelby Hughey,another outstanding senior
outside hitter, slammed eightkills and middle hitter EmmaDunham delivered fiveblocks. Abby Bodzick wasbodacious in the back row,covering the floor like greenon grass as she recorded ateam-high 18 digs and theversatile Hughey accumulat-ed 11 digs.Tanner Bartczak led theTrojans with 16 kills while 6-foot sophomore middle hit-ter Lexi Gussert garnered 11
kills and Audrey Sholanderstroked 10 kills.
Coach Myers expressed pride
for the players and apprecia-
tion for their efforts through-
out another strong season.
Forest Park went on to face
Battle Creek St. Philip in the
Class D semifinals and lost in
three games, 25-22, 25-12,
25-14. St. Philip then went on
to repeat as state champ
again, beating Wyoming Tri-
Unity 25-16, 25-13, 25-11.

HeadWaters Land Conservancy Shares in theSuccess of Land Trusts across the Country
As reported in USA Today and other news outlets across the
country, Land Trusts are growing stronger each year. As the
new Executive Director of HeadWaters Land Conservancy in
Gaylord, Laura Justin could not be more thrilled. It is so
rewarding to know we are making a difference in the 11 coun-
ties we service. I knew the numbers would be good before the
Land Census was released based on the number of people I
speak to every day who want to protect their land now and
into the future.
Everyone in a community benefits from Conservation
Easements and Preserves. Every day we pass by places we
love to look at. Maybe its a patch of river, a stand of woods or
a peaceful meadow. We enjoy that experience the
unspoiled natural beauty, but we rarely consider how we
would feel if that land or water was taken away through devel-
opment. We just count on the fact that the beautiful places
will be there day after day, said Justin. HeadWaters is active-
ly working to protect the land and water of northeastern
Michigan by serving the conservation needs of private
landowners and the public.
HeadWaters Land Conservancy protects over 8,200 acres of
land and more than 27 miles of water frontage. This year has
been an especially successful one with several Conservation
Easements nearing completion that represent an additional
890 acres and almost 20,000 feet of waterfront. These num-
bers reflect the addition of a special piece of land just outside
of Gaylord. We are so fortunate to announce the charitable
donation of a 40 acre parcel on the Sturgeon River! This beau-
tiful piece of land is being opened to the community as the
Sturgeon River Preserve in Honor of Rusty Gates, said Justin.
There are still many people in northeastern Michigan who
dont know what a Conservation Easement is which is a big
challenge for HeadWaters Land Conservancy. I find that
some folks have never heard of a Conservation Easement and
others have a misunderstanding of how it all works. People
believe they have to give up their land to protect it and that is
absolutely wrong! We want landowners to stay on their land
and pass it on to future generations or sell the land wheneverthey want, knowing the land is protected no matter who owns
it in the future, said Justin.
With so many positive things happening with land protec-
tion all over the country, there is still a challenging reality that
Justin deals with every day. We spend a great deal of our time
fundraising so we can do our work that benefits the commu-
nity members of the 11 counties we serve. Justin continued,
The great part of philanthropy is working with private citi-
zens who generously support us financially because they
believe in our mission. The difficulty is finding enough com-
munity members who understand that all the beauty and
wilderness and water they see every day could be lost forever
if we dont work hard to protect it.

Thoughts on...What are you most thankful for??
Daily WordWEDNESDAY: 1 Kings 2:2-3 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 2 I am going the way of all the earth. Be strong, therefore, and
show yourself a man. 3 Keep the charge of the LORD your God, to walk in His ways, to keep His statutes, His command-
ments, His ordinances, and His testimonies, according to what is written in the Law of Moses, that you may succeed in all
that you do and wherever you turn
THURSDAY: John 11:40-42 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 40 Jesus *said to her, Did I not say to you that if you believe,
you will see the glory of God? 41 So they removed the stone. Then Jesus raised His eyes, and said, Father, I thank You
that You have heard Me. 42 I knew that You always hear Me; but because of the people standing around I said it, so that
they may believe that You sent Me.
FRIDAY: Romans 1:8 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 8 First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, because your
faith is being proclaimed throughout the whole world.
SATURDAY: 1 Timothy 1:12 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 12 I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has strengthened me,
because He considered me faithful, putting me into service,
SUNDAY: 1 Thessalonians 3:8-10 The Message (MSG) 6-8But now that Timothy is back, bringing this terrific report on your faithand love, we feel a lot better. It's especially gratifying to know that you continue to think well of us, and that you want to see
us as much as we want to see you! In the middle of our trouble and hard times here, just knowing how you're doing keeps us
going. Knowing that your faith is alive keeps us alive. 9-10What would be an adequate thanksgiving to offer God for all the
joy we experience before him because of you? We do what we can, praying away, night and day, asking for the bonus of see-
ing your faces again and doing what we can to help when your faith falters.
MONDAY: Ephesians 1:15 The Message (MSG) 15-19That's why, when I heard of the solid trust you have in the Master Jesus and
your outpouring of love to all the followers of Jesus, I couldn't stop thanking God for youevery time I prayed, I'd think of
you and give thanks. But I do more than thank. I askask the God of our Master, Jesus Christ, the God of gloryto make
you intelligent and discerning in knowing him personally, your eyes focused and clear, so that you can see exactly what it is
he is calling you to do, grasp the immensity of this glorious way of life he has for his followers, oh, the utter extravagance of
his work in us who trust himendless energy, boundless strength!
TUESDAY: 1 Corinthians 15:57 King James Version (KJV) 57But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord
Jesus Christ.
WEDNESDAY: Colossians 3:17 King James Version (KJV) 17 And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the
Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.
What are you most thankful for?
Over the years, I have been blessed in many ways, I live in a landwith more freedom and luxury than most of the worlds population
has known. I have a nice house, a wonderful wife and family, fulfill-
ing work, and health. Asking myself what I am most thankful for can
take some time, because there are so many things I can weigh against
each other.
In our Sunday evening studies, we have been reading the book of
Job. He sounds a lot like me in the beginning, until everything he is
thankful for was taken away. Though he was devastated at the loss of
all these blessings - including his children - Job did not lose the one
think that kept him steady through the turmoil. Job did not lose his
faith in God. While all the other stuff was important and the loss
was considerable, Job did not succumb to despair. I believe that this
shows that Job did not lose the one thing that was most important to
him.
So I suppose if there is only one thing I can choose, I would have
to say that the relationship I have with Jesus Christ as my personal
Lord and Savior would be what I am most thankful for.

Thanksgiving is the quintessential American holiday. Food,family, football and restored faith in the thankful capacity ofmankind merge in a day long celebration on the fourthThursday of Novembera tradition ensconced in a time-
worn vision of Pilgrims wearing big black hats sharing theirbounty with Native Americans many moons ago.
There is one day that is oursThanksgiving Day is the oneday that is purely American. ~O. Henry
Thanksgiving, when the Indians said, Well, this has beenfun, but we know you have a long voyage back to England.
Jay Leno
Today, about 45 million turkeys dont look forward to theapproach of Thanksgiving at all. That how many birds
Americans will be carving up for the annual feast according tothe US Department of Agriculture. Other Thanksgiving mealstaples include sweet potatoes, cranberries, and of course,pumpkin pie with lots of whipped cream.
An optimist is a person who starts a new diet onThanksgiving Day. ~Irv Kupcine
What we're really talking about is a wonderful day setaside on the fourth Thursday of November when no one diets.
I mean, why else would they call it Thanksgiving? ~ErmaBombeck
Sharing a belt-loosening stuffing with family and friendsgathered around the table is a wonderful Norman Rockwell
worthy image representing the warmth, reunionand kindness embracing the Thanksgiving holiday.There are over 117 million households in theUnited States, and the vast majority will be holdinga special Thanksgiving feast this Thursday.
Forever on Thanksgiving Day the heart will findthe pathway home, ~Wilbur D. Nesbit
On Thanksgiving Day, all over America, familiessit down to dinner at the same moment - halftime.
~Author Unknown
Oh yes, Lions football and the annual MacysThanksgiving parade are must see turkey-day televisionevents as well as great excuses to eat snacks before sittingdown to a huge feast. The Macys parade, known for elaborate
floats, balloons and celebrity appearances, began in 1924,actually the same year Americas Thanksgiving Parade firstmarched down the streets in Detroit. The annual DetroitLions Thanksgiving football game tradition started ten yearslater, in 1934, with a 19 to 16 loss against the Chicago Bears,and with the exception of a hiatus between 1939 and 1944, thegame has been played every year since, with an overall recordhovering around the .500 mark. This year the Lions will playthe Green Bay Packers starting at 12:30 pm and will be tele-vised on FOX. If you plan to eat Thanksgiving dinner after thegamego easy on the snacks during the game.
Do not get tired of doing what is good. Don't get discour-aged and give up, for we will reap a harvest of blessing at the
appropriate time. - Galatians 6:9
Thanksgiving, after all, is a word of action. ~W.J. Cameron
Yet, most of all, Thanksgiving is a time for sharing our bless-ings andgiving thanks. It is a special day set aside for rec-ognizing the good in ourselves and in those around us, cele-brated by the simple act of sharing a laugh, a remembrance, akind word, and a delicious, hearty meal.
O Lord that lends me life, Lend me a heart replete withthankfulness. ~William Shakespeare
As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that thehighest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.
~John Fitzgerald Kennedy
If the only prayer you said in your whole life was, "thankyou," that would suffice. ~Meister Eckhart
A thankful heart is not only the greatest virtue, but the par-ent of all the other virtues. ~Ci cero

How ToPrepare Your
House ForSale
Compliments ofEd Wohlfiel
Part 1
Prepping and staging a
house. Every seller wants her
home to sell fast and bring
top dollar. Does that sound
good to you? Well, it's not luck
that makes that happen. It's
careful planning and knowing
how to professionally spruceup your home that will send
home buyers scurrying for
their checkbooks. Here is how
to prep a house and turn it
into an irresistible and mar-
ketable home.
Here's How:
1. Disassociate Yourself
With Your Home.
Say to yourself, "This is not
my home; it is a house -- a
product to be sold much like
a box of cereal on the grocery
store shelf.
Make the mental decision
to "let go" of your emotions
and focus on the fact that
soon this house will no longer
be yours.
Picture yourself handing
over the keys and envelopes
containing appliance war-
ranties to the new owners!
Say goodbye to every room.
Don't look backwards --
look toward the future.
2. De-Personalize.
Pack up those personal
photographs and family heir-
looms. Buyers can't see past
personal artifacts, and you
don't want them to be dis-
tracted. You want buyers to
imagine their own photos on
the walls, and they can't do
that if yours are there! You
don't want to make any buyer
ask, "I wonder what kind of
people live in this home?" You
want buyers to say, "I can see
myself living here."
3. De-Clutter.
People collect an amazing
quantity of junk. Consider
this: if you haven't used it in
over a year, you probably
don't need it.
If you don't need it, why
not donate it or throw itaway?
Remove all books from
bookcases.
Pack up those knickknacks.
Clean off everything on
kitchen counters.
Put essential items used
daily in a small box that can
be stored in a closet when not
in use.
Think of this process as a
head-start on the packing you
will eventually need to do
anyway.
