When the ducks arrive this winter to their familiar pond which is now in front of the new Lake Street Plaza, they would not recognize the place. Workers for the project have cleaned the pond out of the weeds, plant life and shrubs which almost hid it from view. They have added rock riprap and have taken the water coming into the pond in a different direc­tion to help eliminate stagnant water. The pond hardly ever freezes in the winter and is a familiar place for the ducks and those who feed them. With the removal of much of the debris, the ducks will be able to swim freely, say observers.

Landfill capping bids lower than expected When Boyne City officials

learned they would have to pay for the capping of the former landfill, they envisioned costs that would bankrupt the city, or make the taxpayers wince for several years as the city tried to figure out how to pay for the estimated cost of almost $600,000.

The officials breathed a large sigh of relief when the. bids were opened last Thursday which showed the lowest bid to be about $178,500 less than the estimate.

City commissioners quickly approved the letting of the bid at the Tuesday noon meeting to Peninsula Construction of

Traverse City whose bid was only $415,415.

City Manager Randy Fryk-berg said the bids came in con­siderably less than anticipated and would save the city for its portion of the capping costs about $44,646 from the estimate the city had conditioned them­selves to pay.

Frykberg told the com­missioners that 11 companies submitted bids from all parts of the state. He expressed surprise that so many companies bid on the project but was pleased when officials started to open the bids and found they were lower than the estimates. He said the last bid opened was the lowest and

recommended that it be accepted by the commissioners so work could start next month.

The bids required contractors to recontour and grade the area to be capped, install about 1,000,000 square feet of 20 mill PVC cap over the area where the trash was buried, add two feet of soil over the cap, add 22 gas ven­

ts to help vent off any gas that the compacted trash may develop as it breaks down, and seed about 45 acres of ground that will be disturbed by the capping.

The bids ranged from the low of Peninsula to the high of South Boardman Supply at $567,170 still below the engineering

estimates of Waade-Trim Granger which prepared the specifications and got them ap­proved through the Department of Natural Resources.

The bids will require on site inspection throughout the job before the contractor would get paid by engineers and the DNR.

The city will have to monitor

the site for several years after the capping is completed to en­sure ground water is not being contaminated.

With the grant from the Clean Michigan Fund paying for 75 percent of the capping costs, the city will only have to come up with $118,979 for its share of the

For those going to Florida for the winter and storing their automobile during the winter months, a new law that amends the state insurance code has been passed. It will prohibit companies from refusing to cover a driver, or limit the coverage on a vehicle that has not been driven or moved in the previous six months if the only reason for such refusal is that the vehicle was not insured during that period.

Another new law passed recently covers the owner of a dog who bites a'person who enters the owner's property for an unlawful purpose. The revised law says the owner of the dog is not liable for dog bites.

Workers from H & D layed down the first course of asphalt last week on Lake Street, ending a summer long bottleneck for many plant workers and tourists as well as townspeople who had to cope with the detour on the main street. Other streets, like Vogel, also had the first layer of asphalt this week as the infrastructure repairs for this year start to be completed. Additional paving and the second layers will be

completed after the Labor Day weekend, according to officials from the general contractor C.H. Smith and Company. They are going to be completing the sewer and water line work on Park Street this week if the weather holds and that street will be paved shortly after additional gravel is brought in to provide a good base for the paving. Other areas of town will also be paved after the holiday.

Boyne students, parents given directions for school drop off., pick-up

With the arrival next week of school, Boyne City students will find .many changes, especially in the way they will have to get to and from school.

At least until the upcoming special election confirms or denies the funds needed for school bussing.

In the few days of school prior to the September 19 election, parents of students attending Boyne City Elementary School are asked, to enter off Brockway onto the blacktopped area by the bus garage, circle the garage and drop off students by the stage

area of the school. Then drivers are asked to exit east of the bus garage' between the school and the garage. Drivers will not be allowed to use the main parking lot in front of the school.

Those walking to school are asked to cross Brockway at the intersection of Boyne Avenue and proceed to the school on the newly installed sidewalk. Crossing guards will be at the main intersection to help control traffic.

Drop off times are listed as 8 to 8:15 a.m., while the afternoon pickup of students will be bet­

ween 3:05 and 3:15 p.m. For students going to the Mid­

dle School, transportation will also affect the school times, The school will institute a closed campus this year, so students are asked to remain on school groun­ds until the end of the school.day.

Parents driving students to the Middle School are asked to approach the school from the north or east by using Park Street. This will allow students to be dropped off close to the school and they won't have to cross any streets. Pick-up of students will follow, the same

traffic pattern. The school advises that adult

supervision will not be available before 8 a.m. and after school, so parents are urged to be on time when picking up students.

At the high school, parents bringing students are asked to use the circle drive in front of the .school. Those students driving will use the large parking lot next to the school.

With school starting next week, all drivers within the city are asked to drive with caution because of the children walking to and from schools.

How do you find boat insurance that protects more than your boat?

No problem. Boat Insurance from Auto-Owners protects you in case of collision on land or water... it provides fire and theft coverage; and liability and medical protection for you and your family can also be added. So ask your Auto-Owners agent just how their Boat Insurance can be "no problem" keeping you afloat.

CHARLEVOIX COUNTY PRESS-August 31,1988

The Positive Side

"You can't do it all yourself. A good manager delegates and gets things

done through other people."

BYJTMSJXBAR "01 Ralph was getting a little

testy," said the man about his pet polar bear, "but with the coming of cooler weather, and the rain, he's settled down and is about ready to make his trek to the ice for the winter."

"I guess the weather change was needed, gives the sheep and the goats something to chew on around the lawn," he continued.

I wondered about all the things he said, and really won­dered about that pet polar bear until I realized that in the eight years I have been around here, about the only bears I had heard of walked through town near the early spring.

So the polar bear thing didn't phase me too much.

And then I started to wonder about the goats and the sheep. I always thought the only goats around this office was myself, but there must be other old goats around the town.

All you have to do is listen to some of the baaas that others call laughter at the coffee shops each morning.

I sometimes do wish I were a farmer, though. Especially at times when I hear the Federal government is doling out money to those who think their crops won't make enough to feed the family, let alone pay the bills for growing the stuff.

I just wish I could talk the fed into giving out money to poor editors. I would probably be one of the first in line trying to figure out the governmental forms they would come up with to disallow anyone from getting the funds.

There used to be a gover­nmental program that would pay fanners and orchard owners while they waited for young trees to get to the age of producing a crop.

I remember asking the county

Letters Says news media unfair

to Nafl. Guard

Editor, At the Republican National

Convention, the American voters were exposed to the television news media at its worst when it attempted to trash Senator Quayle for having enlisted in the Indiana National Guard during the Vietnam War.

The draft law during the latter part of the Vietnam War was a disgrace. One wanting to dodge the draft could fail to register, seek deferment for work or school, take off for Canada or elsewhere, or obtain phony medical evidence to evade duty. In enlisting in the Indiana National Guard, Senator Quayle laid his life on the line for 6 years, and in effect told Uncle Same, "I am ready for whatever duty you need me for."

Personally, as a young man in the mid 30's I had enlisted in the Michigan National Guard and, on moving to Ohio in 1937, was granted an honorable discharge. After I leftrtlichigan, and before Pearl Harbor, my National Guard Division (Co. C, 125th Inf., 32nd Div.) was called to active federal duty and, subsequently,

Jottings agent at the time if I could get on that program as I had a bushel basket full of walnuts I intended to grow into a walnut orchard.

I told him I had visions of having a growth of trees that would produce more nuts than I could eat sometime in the future, about 50 years from when I was going to plant the seeds. I told him that the land around my estate was going to be as big a grove as the ones down south for pecans.

He almost bought the idea until I said I intended to sell the walnuts at Christmas time, wrapped up in a special tin which I would charge the people who ordered about five bucks more than it was worth.

Needless to say, he laughed at the suggestion and said my three-quarter acre lot wouldn't qualify, even if it did have 250 trees planted around the yard.

So I took my bushel of nuts and went home and proceeded to break them open in preparation of making some fudge I could sell to tourists. But then I started eating every third nut, and by the time I was finished shucking the nuts, there was only enough left to make one batch of fudge.

So I started looking around the house to find real maple syrup.

Which brought me back to the original premise, could I have gotten a government program while I waited for the maple trees to mature enough to draw sap?

So I went back to the county agent, and told him of my plans. I also told him that if the walnut trees did not produce, I would sell the wood to make gun stocks. And the maple trees to make butcher blocks.

He said I was thinking along the right lines.

I agreed and said it, sounded to me like I might be able to get a grant to study the program to see if it was feasible.

He said go to it. So I looked up to see what

forms I would have to fill out to get a grant and who I could send it to when I completed the form.

But, I procrastinated long enough that the grant application time went by, the government program to pay me to wait for the trees to grow ended and I was left only with my thoughts of getting rich on the government's expense.

Remembrances

North Shore Drive at Walloon Lake looking toward M-75 around 1900 was little better than a two-track dirt road that led to many of the vacation cottages on the north side of the

lake. If you have any old photos of this area bring them to our office and we will make a copy.

Marshall Savles With summer past, learning

will break out all over.... * * *

For three months I heard this same gasp, "When is this heat going to stop?"

The complaint finally reached the branch office, was voted upon, approved and sent to headquarters. There the hot spell • was vetoed in favor of this cold rain I'm seeing out the window. (There is now a new saying: If you don't like northern Michigan weather, wait three months.)

So what do we have? Nothing. Nothing but a national election squabble, a couple of full moons and some worries that our kids may have to walk to school like we did when we were their age. Ugh!

Oh, good. Now that I've men­tioned school I can jump upon the subject and beat it to death.

Let me compare school days with those back when cigar • boxes were made of wood. But first, a little side story:

I took a school boy by the hand the other day and began to ex­plain the facts of life, throwing in that over-used claptrap about the birds and the bees.

Well, do you know something? He listened politely, shook his head and then preceded to bring me up to date. All of a sudden I was embarrassed to learn how up to date things are. Heavens, when I went to school things were never that up to date. (If some of our older women were told how up to date things are they would blush clear down to* their knees.)

To those who wonder what this world is coming to, let me tell you. It is already here.

For instance: Some kids sneak dope to school, some take

cigarettes, come carry swear words from home, some sass the teacher, some think that school isn't cool.

Only a few kids do these things, but a "few" seems like an awful lot when these things hap­pen. Most kids, of course, aren't bad kids and most bad kids aren't really bad. I learned a lot from that school boy who brought me ug to date.

Now, let me heavy up the bag on this up to date stuff. We have a granddaughter who, like most kids today, reached sixteen drinking coke and eating potato chips. Sometimes I think that if there were no Dairy Queens or McDonalds half of the kids in the country would fall sick.

One of the things that really bothers me is how today's kids can do their home work during

commercials and still get better marks that I did.

I wouldn't care to be sixteen again, but yet I envy the free and easy life they seem to have. No outhouses, no patched pants, no poolrooms for parents to drag them out of, no dandelion greens for Sunday dessert.

What an up to date deal the nice kids have today. Someone ought to tell them about it.

BROCCOLI . Broccoli is an edible flower plant. The name "broccoli" is an Italian word meaning an arm or branch; it really is a cabbage. Long before headed cabbage was known the ancients of Mediterranean lands were eating those cabbage flowers which are the partly developed flowers and portions of the stalk of cabbage.

It is a mystery why such an ancient and excellent vegetable was known for more than 2000 years in Europe and perhaps 200 years in America should not have become popular until the 1920s

become popular until the 1930s or later.

Broccoli is our gift from Italy. Americans of Italian origin have grown it for generations in the vicinity of New York and Boston before we began to appreciate this wonderful vegetable. We did not know what we were missing!

First, we discovered broccoli soup, every restaurant is now serving it and then we all started making those delicious pasta salads, nearly always using broc­coli. Here is a tasty

MEDITERRANEAN PASTA SALAD

1 lb. pasta spirals, cooked al den-te and rinsed with cold water 1 head broccoli flowerets, blan­ched and refreshed with cold water 1 can white tuna in water, drained 1 large red pepper, cubed 2 to 4 tablespoons capers 4 tablespoons red wine vinegar 1 clove garlic lk teaspoon oregano teaspoon black pepper % cup olive oil

Put the pasta, broccoli, tuna and red peppers in in a bowl.

To make the dressing; puree all of the remaining ingredients except the oil in a blender or food processor. Then add the oil slowly, continuing to blend.

Cover the vegetables and pasta with the dressing and toss.

You might have some of this delicious dressing left over, you will find a good use for it.

For those of us who need to cut down on our cholesterol levels, I have a good recipe for chowder using broccoli and oat flour. Ac­cording to the experts, oats eaten as oat meal and oat bran for muf­

fins can help to lower the cholesterol levels for us.

CHICKEN OR HAM BROCCOLI CHOWDER

Serves 4 2 cups sliced carrots 2 cups water l'/j cups chopped cooked chicken or ham 1 (10¾ oz.) can condensed chicken broth 1 (10 oz.) pkg. frozen chopped broccoli Vz cup chopped onion V2 teaspoon salt, optional Vz cup ground oat flour (recipe follows) 2 cups skim milk IV2 cups (6 oz.) cubed natural Swiss cheese

Combine carrots, water, chicken (or ham), broth, broccoli, onion and salt in 4 qt. saucepan or Dutch oven. Bring to boil over med. high heat then reduce heat. Cover and simmer about 10 minutes. Bring to a full rolling boil; gradually add the oat flour, stirring constantly. Stir in milk. Simmer 10 minutes stirring oc­casionally. Remove from heat and stir in cheese. Cover, let stand 3 to 5 minutes before ser­ving.

Recipe for OATFLOUR

Make your own in the blender or food processor. Process 1 to Vk cups of quick or old-fashioned uncooked oats for about 60 seconds. That's all.

Store in tightly covered con­tainer in a cool place up to 6 mon­ths. This is a very healthful way to thicken sauces or gravies.

Then sometimes we are hungry for "just plain food." The other day I prepared my dinner this way.

A PLAIN MEAL FOR ONE 2 potatoes (small) peeled or if new, scrub and leave skins on 3 medium sized carrots, scraped and sliced length-wise. 2 or 3 stalks of broccoli.

Put the potatoes in a pan and bring to a boil, then put in the carrots. When they start to sim­mer add the broccoli.

Cover and cook until just ten­der, and serve with butter or margarine, salt and pepper.

This made a delicious dinner with a slice or two of turkey bologna and a slice of Michigan melon for dessert. It just hit the spot!

Letters wound up in New Guinea where some of the worst fighting of WWII took place.

That's what the National Guard is all about. On 12/9/41, 2 days after Pearl Harbor, I enlisted in the Army Air Force and served the next 4 years, 3 of them overseas. With such per­sonal knowledge of the National Guard and full time active duty in WWH, I found last week's lack

of knowledge by the media people of National Guard service incredible.

All individuals who have ever served in the National Guard should recognize that the TV news media has cast them in the role of being less than brave and patriotic, and that is ignorance and that stinks.

D.D. Cramer East Jordan

So that's where George was Editor,

Well, we now know where George was. He had gone bird hunting in Indiana. What's more he got his bird. The only problem was his bird dogs weren't very particular about what kind of bird they flushed up for George and George just banged away anyway, and lo and behold George got himself a quail. Now quail are a highly protected species of bird in Indiana and sure don't like the idea of anybody shooting at them or anything like that. But at the time George didn't know much about quails and thought he had just bagged a real fine bird with pretty feathers and a cute come-hither look that would surely ap­peal to any female quail that laid eyes on him. Anybody who ever watched a little boy quail do. his wooing dance on a log knows what effect it has on little girl quails. Even birds.get political now and then you know.

Alas and alack, poor George had .blown it again. This par­ticular bird was the pride and joy of all the quail lovers in Indiana and had been pampered and sheltered all his life. Even the state's National Guard had been used to keep this little quail from being shot at and well out of

harm's way and then along comes George and takes him away from them. Are they upset? You bet­ter believe it. The media boys found out what George did and are picking that poor little bird bare. Those Hoosiers are about to pass a law against quail hun­ting in their state. They will do anything to ensure a long and secure life for their beloved quail. And you can take that to the bank.

Some rather snide people are making crude remarks about that old canard about a bird in the bush but them Hoosiers are

•really riled up and George just might have to give the bird back to them. He has kept this mighty quiet, but he didn't have a licen­se. He really wants to keep it and have it stuffed and put on display in the Veeps office in Washington if he can actually get himself elected president. These same clods are even suggesting that George get a license to hunt bir­ds the next time out and make sure he knows what he is shooting at before he pulls the trigger. They even suggest that some new bird dogs would be a big help, too. Stay tuned.

THE BARE FACTS On a recent steamy Sunday af­

ternoon, when crying seemed the only reasonable thing to do and I was too hot to consider it, I tur­ned to the newspaper instead. There, lo and behold, I found an article about a lifestyle that sounded like the perfect, way to beat the heat. Then, when I thought about it, about my par­ticipating, I saw some com­plications in it—it being nudism. The people who relax at Sun­shine Gardens Resort, a nudist camp in Battle Creek, don't have any problems with it, though, as Diane Hofsess found out when she visited there in order to write the article for the Detroit News.

The manager of the Resort, Don Deakin, an English teacher at an Illinois high school, prefers to call this lifestyle not nudist but naturist. I looked up naturist and found it means one whose action or thought is based on natuial desires or instincts. Deakin says that those who can't accept nudism, don't know much about it and looks forward to the day when Americans have "a more mature attitude towards nudism, like they have in Europe." He says that "nudism is not for everybody, but it should be."

Deakin won't let just anyone into his camp. He turns away about five a day on weekends, mostly for having "an unreasonable manner". He doesn't elaborate on that. He does say he lets in some clothes wearers, but encourages disrobing.

Maynard Adams, son of the 46-year-old camp's founders, says that any "walker-gawkers' that slip by Deakin get caught by the regular campers. "They camp out in front of the showers," he says. Apparently it never occurs to them to just look around.

Almost everyone interviewed pointed out the freedom nudism gives. Jenny, a largish woman in her fifties, cited it and then ad­ded: "You're not inhibited by anything here."

Jerry, her husband, put it this way: "It's so relaxing here... Nobody puts on airs. With clothes off, nobody can tell who's doctor or minister. I like that."

As for me and my misgivings,

first off, the longer I live in Michigan, the more often my nose runs unespectedly, as when I'm out walking. Without pockets, where to I keep my hanky? Do I tuck it behind my ear or wrap it around a finger?

Then too, I get chilly very easily. When I do, and stay that way a while, my nose turns bluish and I shiver. Should a cool breeze come up and hit my bare body, I can see myself standing there, blue-nosed, shivery and probably with a hanky waving around because when I talk, my whole body gets involved. Add to that the following problem and a sorry picture emerges.

I reached middle age some time ago and most of it I enjoy. I don't enjoy my middle-aged figure, however. Most of us mid­dle-aged women resemble gour­ds, with individual variations. In my case, most of the gourd has settled in front. I can hid lack of symmetry reasonably well with proper clothing, but clearly, I don't look my best in the buff. t

Call me immature or repressed if you like, Mr. Deakin, but I can't do naturism, not even to get cool. While I know you told me that Jackie Onassis and Vanessa Redgrave enjoyed it and that senators in their swimming pool went bare-bottomed until lady senators got elected, indicating that some of the best people do, the fact is that I depend on clothes. Without them, I feel defenseless. With them I feel safe and confident. I don't call that immaturity or repressing. I call it admitting that shapewise, I'm past my prime.

We'd like your

opinion

Tip oMitt starts adopt-stream

On honors list Nearly 400 Ferris State

University students were in­cluded on the academic honors list for the summer quarter, University officials have announ­ced.

To be eligible, a Ferris student must have compiled a 3.50 grade point average in at least 12 quar­ter hours of graded work. The total list of 394 students includes 120 who earned 4.00 grade point averages, or all A grades.

Among the honored students were Timothy A. Drenth of East Jordan, and Donna Jo Thorp, of Charlevoix.

In Service Army Sgt. Richard C. Hof­

fman, son of Timothy J. and Myra E. Hoffman of East Jordan, has arrived for duty in South Korea.

Hoffman is a crew chief with the 166th Assault Hellicopter Company.

To protect and enhance Nor­thern Michigan streams, the Tip of the Mitt Watershed Council is initiating a voluntary "Adopt A Stream Program". This program will give concerned groups the opportunity to play an in­strumental role in the preser­vation and enhancement of nor­thern Michigan streams.

Designed to give adopting groups an increased appreciation and awareness for these streams, the "Adopt A Stream Program" seeks to ensure good water quality for all to enjoy.

Groups such as service clubs, school classes, or scouts can begin participation by "adopting" a stream or a reach of a stream for enhancement and protection. Enhancement will begin with a Streambank Cleanup Day. Long term protection will include monitoring stream and water­shed activities on an informal basis. The adopter will be asked to observe and give notice of ac­tivities taking place at or near

their streams which may have potential water quality impacts. Adopting groups may also work with the DNR and other agencies on stream restoration and enhancement projects such as the development of erosion con­trol structures.

The Watershed Council will coordinate, advise and assist par­ticipating groups in all stream adoption activities. We will also provide an informative program on stream ecology. The Water­shed Council hopes that stream adopters find the "Adopt A Stream Program" fun and rewarding.

Streams and river, the primary movers of water through a watershed, are vital water resources in Northern Michigan. Sreams and adjoining lands provide valuable habitat for fish and wildlife, while affor­ding recreational opportunities such as fishing, birdwatching, and canoeing. Stream and lake water quality reflects the ac­tivities and land uses within a

watershed. Unfortunately, some streams have been impaired through actions such as littering, agricultural runoff, and erosion. Sometimes this results in lowered water quality and aesthetic appeal.

By participating in the "Adopt A Stream Program", volunteers will provide assistance in achieving the following goals; at­taining and maintaining high water quality throughout Nor­thern Michigan; preserving and enhancing stream habitat; preserving the aesthetic quality of Northern Michigan streams; and increasing recreational en­joyment for all stream users.

Interested groups should con­tact the Adopt A Stream Program, Tip of the Mitt Water­shed Council, P.O. Box 300, Con­way, MI 49722.

The Tip of the Mitt Watershed Council is a non-profit organization dedicated to the wise use and protection of nor­thern Michigan's water resour­ces.

Landfill capping costs.

With the city's acceptance of the bid, a letter will be sent to Peninsula Construction giving them two weeks to submit the proper bonding and get ready to do the work.

Actual site work is expected to begin in two to three weeks with the work continuing until winter weather sets in. The landfill is under state rules to have the capping completed by July of 1989. The city expects the work will be completed by June which would allow the state one month to check out the job and give their approval.

In other action taken at the noon meeting, the commissioners lifted the odd-even watering ban,

thanks to the recent rains. DPW head Basil Moore said the water pumps have been able to rest as the city is not using as much water as during the drought.

The city also approved a resolution which will allow the retired workers of the city, to receive a cost of living allowance raise in their retirement package. The resolution affects 14 retired city workers.

Then the commissioners ap­proved the first reading of the proposed ordinance which would ban the consumption of alcoholic beverages within the Old City Park.

Cebe Gillespie asked the commissioners why just one park. He thought that if a ban

were approved, it should cover all city parks and not just single out one.

He was told by commissioners and Andy Andrick, a member of the Parks and Recreation Board, that many citizens had asked for the ban within the park. The board had asked the city attor­ney to draw up an ordinance that would cover the park so as to en­courage more family usage of the new gazebo.

The commissioners approved the first reading with the ad­dition of a clause which would allow the City Commission to lift the ban for certain occasions.

The next reading will take place next month and the ban will go into immediate effect.

Hunters manual at MUCC As the days get

shorter, the nights grow cooler and the leaves begin to turn with the coming of autumn, more than a million sportsmen and women turn their thoughts to some of Michigan's most ex­citing outdoor sports offerings — hunting for waterfowl, small game, upland game birds and white tail deer.

For young novices and seasoned hunters alike it is a time to carefully plan their hunting trip, clean

and check their equipment and brush up on the important skills they will need to bring home their favorite quarry.

No matter what level of experience or expertise they may have, a valuable resource and planning guide for hunters of all ages is "Hunt Michigan! - How to, Where to, When to," the most-definitive reference manual on hunting opportunities in Michigan.

Published by the state's largest spor­

tsmen's organization — Michigan United Conservation Clubs (MUCC)-the 350 page book reads like an encyclopedia on Michigan hunting. Authored by Tom Huggler of Otisville, a nationally-acclaimed outdoor writer and photographer, "Hunt Michigan!" covers every aspect of sport hunting in the state.

The book includes individual chapters on how to hunt every game species found in Michigan. Other chap­ters are devoted to

hunting opportunities in Michigan's state recreation and game areas as well as state and national forests.

August and early September, just before fish begin homing into parent streams.

Anglers are ad­vised to keep track of water levels and tem­peratures, especially from mid-September to mid-October when best stream action usually occurs. The 46 areas listed on AAA Michigan's Salmon Fishing Guide are the state's best hotspots.

Fishermen will find the state's heaviest coho concentrations in Lakes Superior and Michigan connecting waters and Detroit-area rivers, with most chinook running in Lakes Michigan and Huron streams.

Boyne looking for better '88 football season Independent football status,

transportation difficulties, and a lack of experience are just a few of the obstacles standing in the path of the Boyne City Rambler football teams this year, but, with a lot of support from the community ancT a few good breaks, the Ramblers could very well put on a good show this year at varsity level competition.

The convenience of belonging to an established football league is a historical bygone for 1988, and could be one of the most dif­ficult schedules ever faced by a Rambler team. The squad will face just three opponents this year that are recognizable as former adversaries, opening the season with their traditional first game foe, the Harbor Springs Rams.

Boyne City has faced Rudyard twice in recent years and will again for game number two of the season, while late in the schedule the Ramblers will take on Onaway, always a tough op­ponent.

With the absence of an ap­proved millage for bus transpor­tation, the Ramblers are looking towards long caravans of volun­teer drivers to provide transpor­tation to and from the games. With any luck, the Ramblers will be transportation dependent for the first two games, only one of those being out of town in Rudyard.

The big question overall is, will the few seasons of experience possessed by the young Rambler team be enough to provide a respectable win-loss record this year? That in itself being the reason for Boyne not belonging to a regular football league. One point does stand out clear, although the team is young and with little varsity experience, the kids are tough and can be at­tributed with a smattering of raw talent.

The backbone of any football squad is the interior line. Ram­bler coach Irvin (Shorty) Smith reflects on his offensive line as "not as big as last year, but a lit­tle quicker."

Averaging about 175 lbs. on the tackles and guards is not real impressive, but if they are indeed a little quicker, this could turn in­to a plus for the Ramblers. Out-sizing the rest of the linemen is senior tackle Jim Baker at 200 lbs. At the other tackle position will be 169 lb. senior Jeremy Butler. Centering the ball will be 165 lb. senior Nick Evans. At the guard positions will be Bucky Anth,ony and Steve Vincent. An­thony is good-sized, 171 lbs. and plays with an enormous amount of vigor, while the taller Vincent at 5*11" will probably tower over any opponent he faces.

The end slots will be filled by a couple of relatively light but fast runners, Jim Bush and Mark Harris. The two have a great amount of raw talent and provided many exciting moments in jayvee football.

The Rambler backfield will be headed up by junior quarterback Bo Williamson, standing 6'2" and possessing the ability to throw both short and long. Williamson's principal receivers will be Bush, Harris, Wayne Avery, and Steve Baird.

The Rambler backfield will consist of halfbacks Joel Smith and Jason Hunt, both fierce com­petitors with a lot of heart. At fullback will be 188 lb. senior Curt Holley, who should blast through for good gains.

Overall the Rambler backfield should fare pretty well, providing they get the help they need from the interior line, both on running downs and on passing downs.

Defensively, things are not yet definitely squared away, but coach Smith is considering the following for active duty. Avery,

Meet the Boyne City varsity team, bottom row, from left to Rusty Eberhart, and Nick Evans. Row three, Jeremy Butler, Curt righfcBrent Mkhetich, Mark Harris, Shawn Vondra, Stacey Ernst, Holley, Wayne Avery, Will Po&eys, Jim Baker, Steve Baird, Scott Jeremy Babcock, Jim Bush, Rob Towne, Eric Fisher, and Barry Mat- Howard, Chris Johnson, Bo Williamson, and Leigh Woodbury, thews. Second row, Steve Vincent, Jason Hunt, Joel Smith, Paul Coaches Bricker and Fowler are at far left, and coach Smith is standing Molnar, Bucky Anthony, John Karkosak, Mike Kitson, Scot Sutton, at end of second row, right.

Jeremy Babcock, Baird, Stacey Ernst, Harris, Holley, Mike Kit-son, Paul Molnar, Rob Towne, Shawn Vondra, and Leigh Woodbury. "We try to split our practice sessions up evenly bet­ween offense and defense," says coach Smith, "and we seem to be doing ok." The Rambler defense

averages around 175 lbs., but does contain some lunkers in Woodbury, Baird, Babcock, and Holley averaging in at 198 lbs. each.

A rarity for Rambler fans this year will be a fairly good kicking game. Handling the punting assignments will be Anthony

who usually gets good distance and height from his boot while Kitson will attempt the team's extra points and field goals.

It has been longer than most Rambler fans care to remember that Boyne has possessed a good place kicker. Hopefully Kitson

will be called on many times for extra point attempts.

Boyne City will host the season opener this year against the Harbor Springs Rams this Friday night with game time scheduled for 730 at Earl Brotherston field.

Offshore leasing provides park money Revenues generated from oil

El coyote': the little brush wolf BY REG SHARKEY

The hair on the nape of my neck must have stood straight up in that predawn morning over a quarter of a century ago as I stood on the south boundry of Wilderness State Park, near O'Neal Lake.

It was the first day of deer season, and I had gotten up at 3 ajn. in order to get out to the area before daylight.

After leaving my vehicle I walked a half mile to a bluff overlooking a swamp to the nor­th where I figured deer coming from higher feeding grounds, to

provided some $6.8 billion to help fund federal land purchases and state and local conservation and outdoor recreation projects in every state, despite the fact that drilling is done only off the coastal states.

"Nearly 84 percent of this money has come from bonuses and rentals paid by the oil com­panies and from royalties on oil and natural gas produced from offshore leases," says Robert E. Waldron. He is executive direc­tor of Associated Petroleum In­dustries of Michigan, which represents major oil companies in the state. "It's impressive that

the entire country, including Michigan, benefits from this federal leasing program."

In Michigan, additional fun­ding for recreational projects also comes from oil and gas drilling. The royalties the state receives for drilling on state-owned lands go into the Michigan Natural Resources Trust fund to help pay for state and local projects.

The federal government has jurisdiction over some 1.4 billion acres of land in the oceans called the outer continental shelf. In most instances, the shelf line is drawn from about three miles

bed for the day, might pass within shooting range.

Arriving at my previously scouted site I settled down to await daylight, musing of how dumb deer hunters were to get out of a warm bed at an ungodly hour and go stumbling into the frosty boonies, just for a chance to bag a buck.

My reverie was rudely in­terrupted. Back of me, down in the swamp, the clamoring of coyotes after a rabbit, or possibly a deer, shattered the stillness. Screams, yodels, barks, you name it, assailed my ears. Evidently their chase was unsuc­cessful for after a few heartless yipps the clamor ended. Once more the predawn morning was still.

What revived my memory of that frosty morning and the "song" of El Coyotee?

Well, Ed Lotspeich, of Shadow Trail, Walloon Lake, called to tell me that a couple of Sundays ago, while on his way to church in early morning, he saw a coyote cross the road between South Arm Creek and the swamp. Ed wondered if his sighting was a rarity. My reply: "Hardly, Ed."

For quite a few years coyotes, also known as brush wolves, were unknown in eastern States. But now this small cousin of the grey wolf has invaded just about every state in the union.

The coyote is a smart cookie.

Unlike the grey, or timber wolf, he is highly adaptable, able to live in close confines with the human animal.

Westerners have given the coyote a bad name, accusing them of sheep depredation and the destruction of other small domestic animals. They have been shot, poisoned, trapped and persecuted in every way possible, yet they manage to sur­vive.

Some time ago the stomachs of more than 8,000 coyotes were examined, showing that 33% contained rabbits, 25% carrion, 18% rodents, and only 13% sheep and goat meat; and of the last two domesticated animals mentioned it might be well to assume that some of that sheep and goat meat came from animals dead from disease, accident, or other natural causes.

In this part of the country I believe the coyote's diet is mainly field mice, voles, and other ver­min, along with deer that die of disease, or those shot and not recovered by hunters. And the coyote is not above scavanging the left-overs discarded by humans.

That's why he's a surviver; a part of the ecosystem.

Oh yes, did I get a deer that memorable day way back when? Yes. A nice little spike buck that was just right for our small freezer.

out in the ocean, and most of the coastal states retain jurisdiction from the shore line to a point three miles seaward.

Since the federal offshore leasing program began in 1954, however, less than four percent of federal offshore lands has been leased.

Between 1954 and the end of 1987, nearly 8 billion barrels of oil and 80 trillion cubic feet of natural gas were produced from offshore wells. They currently account for about one-eighth of the domestically produced oil and one-quarter of the domestically produced natural gas.

NORTHWEST MICHIGAN VACATIONEER/CriSrtewolicCourifyl'fess-AkiMust31> -1988

Potential for fish farming in Mich, looks good It's quite possible

that within the next 20 years, Michigan will have fish farms comparable to the well-known commer­cial catfish operations in Mississippi.

"We have every e x p e c t a t i o n t ha t a q u a c u l t u r e in Michigan can be a s ign i f ican t con­tributor to the state's economy," says Donald Gar l ing , Michigan S t a t e University Coopera­tive Extension Ser­vice aquacu l tu r e specialist.

His optimism stems from consumers' in­

creasing preference for fish and fish products and the recent designation of MSU as the North Cent ra l Regional Aquaculture Center (NCRAC).

MSU was chosen from among six universities vying to house the center par­tly because of its ex-pe r i ence in establishing aquacul­ture oeprations over­seas and partly becuase of Michigan's fish fanning potential.

MSU is one of five reg iona l c e n t e r s across the United States. Their purpose

is to increase fish production to meet consumer demand within the regions they serve.

The U.S. trade deficit in fish and fish products is currently running about $8 billion each year.

Clarence McNabb, MSU processor of fisheries and wildlife and NCRAC director, says that consumer demand for fish is growing.

"The trade im­balance has increased each year because Amer icans , par­t i cu la r ly young people, are eating

more fish as a low-fat meat substitute," he says. "Among the 20-to 35-year-old group, consumption is run­ning about 35 pounds per capita, and we think that is °;oing to increase."

Garling says that consumers in the nor­th central region are spending $800 million a year for fish, 99 per­cent of which is ship­ped in from other states.

Michigan, he says, p roduces about $700,000 in fish products each year from about 110 licen­sed fisheries, few of

which are producing more than 30,000 pounds of fish each year.

Garling says that some of the in­frastructure for ac­celerating Michigan's fish production is in place, but the enlarging it to meet consumer demand will take time. The catfish industry,, he says, took about 15 years to develop, and it will probably take that long for the Michigan industry to begin reaching its potential.

"At this time, I can't really say what

d i rec t ion the Michigan industry will take, but we do have the potential for production of cold-water species such as trout and salmon and other species such as perch , wa l l eye , bluegill and crayfish," Garling says.

He says that-in­terest in aquaculture in Michigan is broad and that significant developments should be apparent within the next two or three years.

"It's mostly a mat­ter of focusing the available technology and developing the

support and product distribution system," Garling says. "The NCRAC anticipates a vigorous pursuit of the market potential that exists within the 12 states in the Great Lakes region."

More information about the NCRAC and aquaculture can be obtained from Garling by writing to him at the Depar­tment of Fisheries and Wildlife, 9 Natural Resources Building, MSU, East Lansing, MI 48824.

Things to see and do in Crawford County A wide range of

outdoor activit ies beckons visitors to Grayl ing and Crawford County because the many streams, lakes and thousands of acres of state land offer hun­dreds of recreational possibilities.

One of the most popular sports is of course trout fishing on the two world famous rivers, the AuSable and M a n i s t e e . Close behind the fishing in­terest is the use of the two streams for canoeing.

With about 80 per­cent of the land in the county under state or federal ownership, hiking and trail riding is also very popular in

the area. There are many locations that provide a challenge to the ORV operator and the same general zones are used heavily in the winter by snowmobile in-thusiasts.

Along with the spring trout fishing opener is the trek by mushroom hunters to the county in search of the tasty morels. For the bird watcher and wild flower lover, the woods and fields are key locations for those na tu r a l features.

Many lakes in the area provide the finest in warm water angling during the summer and through the ice in the winter. Those same lakes of­

fer boating, swim­ming, sailing and waterskiing. Lake M a r g r e t h e , the largest lake in the county, has a beaut i fu l , long tapering beach, just right for safety to the children.

In the fall, grouse and snowshoe rabbit hunting begins at about the same time as the bow hunters head for the woods. Crawford County compares favorably with all of the popular counties in small game hunting. It has been proven year af­ter year as one of the top producers of the white tail deer.

In addition to the snowmobiling and ice fishing already men­

tioned, downhill and enthusiasts. Hanson park where a number area available. A Win-cross country skiing Hills Recreation Area of downhill slopes and ter Sports Carnival in attracts many winter is a community owned cross country trails _ . e t t o r l Paqe7

Whitetails, ticks, and Lyme disease by

R E G S H A R K E Y So far only a few

cases of Lyme Disease have been reported in Michigan.

What in the tar­nation is Lyme Disease?

First of all let's find out how it got its name; then what its host is and how it is transmitted to humans.

The disease was first diagnosed in Lyme, Vermont, hen­ce the small hamlet in the Green Mountain State has the unwan­ted distinction of being the originator of the epizotic; and the part of the foregoing word (tic) is the tip-off to the per­petrator of the debilitating disease.

Now this won't en­dear the beautiful whitetail deer to nature lovers, or the thousands of hunters who pursue this grandest of all North American big game animals.

Cutting through

the gobbledegook Lyme Disease is tran­smitted by a tick that infests some whitetail deer.

This tick (deer tick) isn't anywhere near the size of the tick we have in these parts, namely the dog tick, that when attached to its host—man or beast—becomes en­gorged with blood, swelling to a quarter of an inch or more in length. Unlike the dog tick the deer tick is a tiny critter no larger than the head of a pin.

But its barbed proboscis can inject bacterium (called spirochetes) into your veins and that's when the circus starts.

So let's take it from the beginning.

Say about a week after you've extracted what you think is a tiny deer tick from your epidermis you notice a red rash has developed around the tick bite. It will look like a red target with a small solid center where the tick bored

The Michigan whitetails have started to carry the tick that transmits Lyme Disease.

into your skin. It will itch like sin for awhile, then disap­pear and you'll probably forget about it.

But this is the lull before the storm.

A month, or so later, neurological symptoms begin to appear: facial palsey or meningitis, or car­diac abnormalities, palpitations, chest pains and shortness of breath. Then in the third stage of the disease arthritis-like symptoms appear.

Now if you should experience any of the foregoing symptoms after being bitten by a tick, get a medical check-up.

A general blood test will not identify the problem. A "Lyme serium" test should be done.

If the mentioned test shows positive you'll be in for a series of antibiotic shots, lasting a number of

Say you saw it in the Vacationeer

weeks. In talking with Dr.

Michael McDonald, Bay Pines Clinic veternarian, outside of Petoskey, about Lyme Disease, he told me that there have been cases of the disease discovered in Michigan, just down a line between Newaygo and Grand Rapids and over in the Grayling area.

Previously, it was thought that Michigan was free of the disease until Michigan State authorities diagnosed them at various hospitals.

Dr. McDonald also says that dogs have also been diagnosed as having Lyme Disease.

Contacting the Northern Michigan Hospitals in Petoskey, I inquired about their ability to cope with a suspected Lyme Disease victim if it should show up in these parts, logically assumed because of our burgeoning deer population.

I was told by their publicity department that a blood sample from ' a suspected Lyme Disease carrier would have to be sent to the Mayo Clinic in

Consider the crayfish BY

Glenn R. Dudderar Sometimes familiar

animals do surprising things.

A case in point is the crayfish.

Anybody who lives or spends much time near a river, stream, wetland, lake or pond has seen those roughly conical towers of mud that resemble stalagmites with holes down through the center. These same people are also familiar with the common stream crayfish, though they may call them

crawfish, crawdads or even crabs.

What's the connec­tion? The architect of these sculpted mud castles is also a c ray f i sh . The burrowing crayfish is a different species than the bottom-dwel l ing s t r e a m crayfish, but it takes an expert to tell them apart.

Stream crayfish may dig short burrows close by the water, but the burrowing crayfish excavates extensive burrow systems that may reach 100 or

more feet from the water's edge. When it needs somewhere to put the mud from the tunnel, it burrows to the surface. It carries dollops of mud with its large front claws and deposits them on the ground. The conical chimney that it slops together from this mud may reach 10 to 12 inches in height. As you know if you've ever tried to kick one with a tennis shoe-clad foot, these mud chimneys dry to brick h a r d n e s s , espec ia l ly when they're made of heavy

clay. If you are familiar

with the stream crayfish, you may find it hard to imagine how its identical cousin can burrow so ex t ens ive ly and sculpt its mua castles. For the digging, it uses its legs, and for earth moving, its broad front claws or pinchers.

Unlike the stream crayfish, which spen­ds most of its time in the stream or lake and so is subject to the bass and other predators that lurk there, the burrowing

crayfish lives in its burrow system. The tunnel is connected to a body of water and the lower part - or if the water table is high, the whole tunnel system - is filled with water. The crayfish goes into the stream or lake only to feed.

Another burrowing animal that tends to inhabit the same low, wet areas where burrowing crayfish are found also pushes loose soil into a volcano-shaped moun-d. Unlike the crayfish's mud chim­ney, this mound has

no structure - you can't pick it up in one piece. In fact, you can spread it with a gar­den rake. You can't rake aside a crayfish chimney.

My decision to write about the crayfish came out of a workshop I did for teachers early this month . Crayf ish chimneys were familiar to me because I prowled stream banks as a child and saw many of them. Then, as a zoology student in college, I learned that some species

burrow extensively and others don't. I d i d n ' t r e a l i z e e v e r y o n e w a s n ' t familiar with them as I am until that con­ference, when I found out that some people r ead i ly confused crayfish chimneys with star-nosed mole mounds. I was remin­ded once more that learning something new about a common animal can be a fascinating aspect of nature from your backdoor.

Canoeing still great on the Au Sable While many rivers

throughout the Mid­west and in the State of Michigan are feeling the full effects of the drought, the mainstream of the AuSable River, in Grayling, Michigan, just keeps rolling along. While low wa te r cond i t ions have limited or eliminated canoeing on some rivers, the canoeing is still fine in Grayling.

The A u S a b l e Mainstream is a sp r ing- fed r i v e r which originates nor­th of Grayling. Because it is spring-

fed, it is not subject to the fluctuations of run-off streams that rise and fall with the rains. During dry conditions water con­tinues to enter the river from un­d e r g r o u n d and f lowing s p r i n g s , easing the drought's impact. During rainy conditions much of the water soaks into the water-bearing sand that covers most of the area around Grayling and moves slowly un­derground, entering the river through the flowing springs.

Ray's Canoe Livery in Grayling, reports that canoeing on the AuSable Mainstream is still very good. "We are receiving a lot of inquiries about water levels and, though our water levels are O.K., many potential canoeists are hesitant or curious because of the extremely low water levels being reported on some streams." Southard said.

He points out that low water conditions occur each summer, but that so far the canoeing conditions on the AuSable Mainstream have not been Adversely affec­ted. Southard went on to say, "I think the best gauge of canoeing conditions is customer satisfaction and we have yet to hear any customer complaints!" He con­tinued, "I was asking c u s t o m e r s abou t

their trip as they returned this past Thursday and there were no problems reported; our guests were quite pleased with their day on the river."

The U.S. Geological Survey (U.S.G.S.) periodically measures river depth and flow for purposes of historical repor­ting. One of their measuring stations is located near Ray's Canoe Livery in Gray l ing , w h e r e measurements were taken this week. The U.S.G.S. found that the current level of the AuSable River in Grayling is very close to the level of late July or early August, 1987. The river is still four to five inches above the record all-time low, recorded in 1946.

Though the drought has not yet affected canoeing in Grayling, it may be

The lower water con­ditions, when com­bined with high water temperatures brought on by record hot w e a t h e r , d e c r e a s e s the dissolved oxygen content of the river and increases trout m o r t a l i t y . The f lowing s p r i n g s which normally sup­

ply plenty of the cool water that trout thrive in cannot com­pensate for the ex­tremely hot con­ditions being ex­perienced.

Canoeing on the AuSable Mainstream can be fun and easy. Much of the upper stretches of the river is relatively shallow and the current moves you along at a steady, gentle pace. It is ideally suited for

families and novice canoeists. During the summer, weekday or Sunday trips are generally recommen­ded, as summer Saturdays can be ex­tremely busy on the river and do not af­ford the best oppor­tunity for a quiet, relaxing trip.

Chef." First published in

1975 and revised in 1981, "The Wildlife Chef can help both novice and experien­ced cooks prepare ex­cellent dishes from quarry taken during Michigan's hunting seasons.

In addition to the nearly 400 recipes, the book includes handy tips on field dressing of game, care of fish and game, freezing and other hints for preparing meals featuring fish and game. Also in­cluded are sections on making sauces and stuffings, preparing breads and desserts, and using Michigan

plants in a variety of recipes.

While many of the recipes offer tips on campsite cooking, all of the dishes—from the traditional Hun­ter's Stew to the exotic Venison Stroganoff — can be prepared at home.

Copies of "The Wildlife Chef are available for $6.11 each, postage and tax included. They may be ordered by sending a check or money or­der to MUCC, P.O. Box 30235, Lansing, MI 48909. Proceeds from the sale of the book go to support MUCC's conservation and sportsmen's education programs

across the state. Here is one exam­

ple of recipes to be found in "The Wildlife Chef:"

So it all boils down to the fact: Should we worry about the new­found epizootic and

Cut pheasant into serving pieces, place in deep baking dish or roaster. Sprinkle over the garlic, celery, carrot, mushrooms, onion and green pep­per. Dot with butter, sprinkle with salt, pepper and oregano. Mix tomatoes with tomato paste and wine and spread all over the pheasant.

Pour olive oil evenly over all. Bake in 450 degree oven ll/a to 2 hours or more until pheasant is tender and the tomato gravy is reduced to just short of being dry. Turn the pieces several times during baking. If the juices don't seem to be cooking fast enough, or the pheasant browning enough, turn oven heat up to 500 degrees near the end of the baking period.

Visit Grayling and Crawford County any time of the year as each month brings a new type of activity. It does not take any special event for the citizens to roll out the red carpet to visitors.
