Trail crash fatal<br />

BAGLEYTWP — Investigators<br />

from the Gaylord Michigan State<br />

Police (MSP) post believe spjeed and<br />

alcohol may have been contributing<br />

factors in a fatal sfiov^obile crash<br />

which killed a 31-year-old Gaylord<br />

man early Sunday morning.<br />

Troopers from the Gaylord post<br />

were dispatched around 1:46 a.m.<br />

to the Old 27 South groomed snowmobile<br />

trail near North Otsego Lake<br />

Road in Bagley Township for a crash<br />

involving a single snowmobile.<br />

Reports indicate the snowmobile<br />

struck a utility pole head on.<br />

According to MSP investigators,<br />

the driver, Eric Inman, was<br />

pronounced dead at the scene. Inman's<br />

passenger and wife. 28-yearold<br />

Stephanie Inman, was seriously<br />

injured and transported to Otsego<br />

GAYLORD — Temperatures<br />

plummeted more than 30 degrees<br />

in eight hours Monday morning as<br />

an Arctic front moved in behind<br />

Sunday night's rainstorm, bringing<br />

snow and strong winds across<br />

Northern Michigan.<br />

According to Andy Sullivan,<br />

meteorologist with the National<br />

Weather Service (NWS) in Gaylord,<br />

heavy rains over a two- or threehour<br />

period late Sunday dropped<br />

half an inch of rain, a considerable<br />

amount for wintertime. He added<br />

the half-inch of rain could have<br />

equaled 6 inches of snow had temperatures<br />

been low enough.<br />

"If we had another 6 inches, we<br />

would have seen a few feet of drifts<br />

and blizzard conditions," Sullivan<br />

A hoci^ey pudc is a blade, vulcanized rubber<br />

disc. 1 irKh thick and 3 irKhes in diameter<br />

and weighs between 5.5 to 6-ounces. Prior<br />

OtG games the pucks are frozen to<br />

. prevent excessive bouncing and<br />

I are changed a number of times<br />

f throughout a game. Watch out:<br />

Pucks can travel over ICQ miles<br />

per hour on a slap shot.<br />

Die-hard Red Wtngs fans may want to<br />

consider a pilgrimage to Mr. P. Karthikeyan's<br />

Venus Rubbers factory, maker of hockey pucks<br />

in Tamil Nadu. India. The pucks are 'manufactured<br />

using the finest grades of natural<br />

rubbers that are as per international specifications.'<br />

The pucks can be custom printed<br />

in multi-colors for customers who may also<br />

order sponge pucks "at affordable prices."<br />

Just for fun visit "Will it Blend?" at www.<br />

than 4,000 years ago. The modern game<br />

evolved in 19th century England and Constance<br />

Applebee is credited with introducing<br />

the sport to the United States in 1901.<br />

OUR VIEW<br />

Snowmobile safety<br />

paramount<br />

The Michigan Department of Natural<br />

Resources Web site provides a<br />

timely listing of snowmobile safety<br />

recommendations:<br />

• Always keep your machine in top mechanical<br />

condition.<br />

• Always wear insulated boots and protective<br />

clothing including a helmet, gloves<br />

and eye protection.<br />

• Never ride alone.<br />

• Avoid, when possible, crossing frozen<br />

bodies of water.<br />

• Never operate in a single file when<br />

crossing frozen bodies of water.<br />

• Always be alert to avoid fences and<br />

low strung wires.<br />

• Never operate on a street or highway.<br />

• Always look for depressions in the<br />

snow.<br />

• Keep headlights and tail lights on at all<br />

times.<br />

•When approaching an intersection,<br />

come to a complete stop, raise off the seat<br />

and look for traffic.<br />

• Always check the weather conditions<br />

before you depart.<br />

IT'S GOOD advice from people who<br />

know their stuff. It's probably good for<br />

nonriders to know as well, the same way<br />

people riding bicycles are expected to<br />

know traffic laws.<br />

The following concludes the DNR's recommendations;<br />

I • Slow — speed is a contributing<br />

faqtor in nearly all fatal accidents.<br />

• Don't drink—alcohol impairs judgment<br />

and slows reaction time. Make it<br />

'none' for the trail.<br />

Have a safe winter.<br />

as he was the first to<br />

do everything in the<br />

family from starting<br />

school to graduating<br />

from college to getting<br />

married and contributing<br />

the first grandchildren.<br />

I was a teenager<br />

before I really realized<br />

how neat my big brother Steve was,<br />

and now as 1 think back, maybe we<br />

were more alike than 1 thou^t we<br />

were. We both majored in journalism<br />

in college — he at the University<br />

of Michigan, me at the University<br />

of Missouri. We both worked at several<br />

newspapers — all of his jobs<br />

were in Northern Michigan while 1<br />

moved around the country. He sold<br />

newspaper advertising most of his<br />

career; I was a reporter, editor and<br />

even a newsroom s^tems analyst.<br />

His dream job was working at the<br />

Traverse City Record-Eagle, which<br />

he fulfilled. The New York Times, the<br />

Washington Post, the Boston Globe<br />

and other big-time papers filled my<br />

dreams. I never got close to any of<br />

\<br />

A quiet presence<br />

them, but I am not at all unhappy<br />

with how my career has unfold^.<br />

As our lives were rolling along,<br />

however, our roles became reversed<br />

in a way that I would never have<br />

imagined.<br />

At the age of 30, my brother was<br />

found to have a brain tumor. 1 was<br />

happily ensconced in college and<br />

this rude intrusion was something<br />

that I did not want to have to deal<br />

with, but because of the situation,<br />

1 felt compelled to become my<br />

brother's keeper after all the years<br />

he had been looking out for me. My<br />

other brother, sister and I seemed to<br />

be more worried about Steve and the<br />

situation than he was when doctors<br />

gave him a year or two to live.<br />

Maybe in his quiet presence he<br />

knew more than we did as the most<br />

amazing thing happened — he lived<br />

22 years after the initial tumor was<br />

found and operated on.<br />

In those 22 years, he was able to<br />

see his daughters grow up and I was<br />

able to continue to witness his quiet,<br />

strong presence.<br />

I'll admit that for many of those<br />

22 years, I did not pay much attention<br />

to my brother. As long as I knew<br />

he was breathing, I continued forging<br />

my own path in this world. For a<br />

time, circumstances beyond my control<br />

kept me from seeing him as often<br />

as I would have liked even when his<br />

health began turning and I felt his<br />

time here with us was limited.<br />

I know now that God gave me<br />

a precious gift when I was able to<br />

spend more time with him during<br />

his last year of life. By this time,<br />

Steve had been living in Gaylord for<br />

a number of years and I would hop<br />

in my van and head north when-<br />

HeraldTimes.ccm<br />

A4<br />

Gaylord Herald Times<br />

ever I could.<br />

I loved the fact that he was able<br />

to meet my dog, Beau, and loved<br />

to hear how that single meeting<br />

touched my brother's life for days<br />

to come as he was hospitalized with<br />

various ailments and one final brain<br />

surgery the last months of his life.<br />

Apparently during one hospital stay,<br />

my sister-in-law was asking Steve<br />

questions and just trying to get him<br />

to say simple words.<br />

She asked him what I had brought<br />

to see him some weeks earlier. All<br />

she wanted him to say was the word<br />

"dog," but without blinking an eye,<br />

my brother responded. "Beau." It<br />

still gives me shivers when I recall<br />

this story and know that my dog had<br />

such a positive effect on my brother.<br />

I brought Beau's picture to the hospital<br />

room to stand among other<br />

family mementos and when shown<br />

that photo, my brother always called<br />

Beau by name.<br />

It is still hard for me to believe<br />

that Steve has been gone five years<br />

exactly to this day. He left this earth<br />

on <strong>Wed</strong>nesday, Dec. <strong>17</strong>, 2003.<br />

The last time we visited, Steve was<br />

on his way to Cleveland Clinic for<br />

what would be his final operation.<br />

That was in September 2003.1 was<br />

not able to see him again, but I am<br />

a firm believer that our last meeting<br />

was how God wanted me to remember<br />

him.<br />

I'll never forget the image of him<br />

sitting at my kitchen table, eating a<br />

bowl of oatmeal, surrounded by family<br />

and always his quiet presence.<br />

lij<br />

By JNSchutt<br />

Steff Writer<br />

GAYLORD—For the past<br />

seven years. Alicia Barry has<br />

volunteered her time during<br />

the holidays, along with her<br />

aunt, to ring the bell for Salvation<br />

Army.<br />

"It means a lot to me." said<br />

Alicia. 10. of her voluntary efforts.<br />

"Every nickel that goes<br />

into that bucket helps people<br />

who need help."<br />

The Gaylord Intermediate<br />

School fifth-grader said ringing<br />

the bell is a tradition she<br />

shares with her aunt. Colleen<br />

Hathaway.<br />

"We do it every year." said<br />

Alicia. "I enjoy it. We sing<br />

Christmas carols."<br />

Alicia is the daughter of<br />

Dorothy Barry of Gaylord and<br />

the granddaughter of Dorothy<br />

Shepherd of Lewiston.<br />

"It has made a great impression<br />

on her that Christmas<br />

is not all about receiving<br />

but also giving and caring<br />

about others who are<br />

in need," said Shepherd in<br />

an e-mail. "No matter how<br />

cold it has been in the past,<br />

she stays until their time is<br />

done."<br />

The tradition began when<br />

Alicia was 3. Regardless of<br />

the weather, she has always<br />

stayed out for her entire time<br />

slot.<br />

"No matter how cold it is,<br />

I never say 1 want to leave,"<br />

Alicia said during a telephone<br />

interview Thursday.<br />

"I stay out there and do my<br />

part."<br />

Alicia has three siblings,<br />

Alicia Barry, now 10<br />

years old, has been<br />

ringing the bell for<br />

the Salvation Army<br />

since she was<br />

3. She said that<br />

ringing the bell Is a<br />

tradition she shares<br />

with her aunt<br />

"It was a huge huge success,"<br />

said Breclcow of Saturday's<br />

the Subway shop.<br />

Additionally. Breckow<br />

thanked Eagle 101.5 radio<br />

"They were so cute," he<br />

said. "Adorable and very respectable."<br />

According to Gaylord City<br />

Police Chief Joe FitzGerald,<br />

if they could raise $5,000 by<br />

next year, they could give M<br />

kids each a $100 gift card.<br />

"We had an excellent<br />

time." said FitzGerald during<br />

a telephone interview<br />

Monday. "One child said he<br />

didn't want to buy anything<br />

for himself. He just wanted to<br />

buy something for his family.<br />

It's pretty heart warming."<br />

"It was fantastic," said<br />

Michigan State Police Lt.<br />

GLEN'S MARKET VICE PRESIDENT Mark Lamberies shows Cindy Smith, who works in the produce department, where some of the changes will be coming to the Gaylord Glen's as they prepare for a $2.5<br />

million facelift. The project will include a Starbucks which should open in February.<br />

Glen's getting 60,000 square-foot facelift<br />

Cont. from p. A1<br />

"The store will be modified<br />

similar to the Petoskey<br />

store, which was completed<br />

in June." said Lamberies, emphasizing<br />

that the Gaylord<br />

store will retain its unique<br />

Alpine theme during updating.of<br />

the store which, like<br />

in Petoskey, will have wood<br />

flooring in the deli, produce<br />

and meat departments as<br />

well as new tile, new graphics<br />

and interior decor packages<br />

throughout the store.<br />

"Many areas in the store<br />

will be updated to offer additional<br />

products, including<br />

more organics in the produce<br />

section and make it easier<br />

and more enjoyable for our<br />

customers," Lamberies said<br />

of the upcoming changes.<br />

According to Lamberies.<br />

Glen's has staged and<br />

planned for all work to be<br />

done during the third shift<br />

of the 24-hour operation<br />

with the store staying open<br />

throughout the project with<br />

a minimal amount of disruption<br />

for shoppers.<br />

LAMBERIES said new tile<br />

and wood flooring was installed<br />

this week in the produce<br />

area and work would<br />

now be shifting to completing<br />

flooring in the Starbucks<br />

and Dairy Queen area, with<br />

wood flooring eventually installed<br />

at the store entrance<br />

where a new floral display<br />

will greet shoppers.<br />

Lamberies said a new<br />

welcome center at the store<br />

entrance will provide free<br />

coffee and popcorn to customers<br />

and shopping carts<br />

will be fitted with cup holders.<br />

New deli cases, produce<br />

islands and new service meat<br />

and seafood cases are all part<br />

of the update for the store<br />

which will include re-merchandising<br />

for the 60,000<br />

square foot supermarket<br />

which will create more space<br />

to allow the store to add<br />

many more products which<br />

Lamberies said customers<br />

ha\^ asked for.<br />

"There will be many items<br />

you won't be able to find any-<br />

where else but right here,"<br />

he said.<br />

"We have been in the community<br />

since 1951," Lamberies<br />

continued. "Gaylord is a<br />

vital community and we feel<br />

strongly that it is important<br />

to reinvest here and continue<br />

to meet the needs of Gaylord.<br />

We believe this is a strategic<br />

reinvestment to ensure we<br />

continue to meet the needs<br />

of our customers."<br />

dropped to 11 degrees<br />

by noon and sustained winds<br />

of 30 mph and gusts to 45 mph<br />

brought wind chills to 10-below<br />

zero. The couple inches of<br />

snow the area received Monday<br />

produced some drifting<br />

and poor visibility.<br />

"I was watching it from<br />

inside." Sullivan said, adding<br />

the Otsego County Airport<br />

weather system to move in<br />

Thursday night and Friday<br />

with potential for significant<br />

more snow and cold.<br />

"It's system after system<br />

Defense does it<br />

in huge GHS win<br />

By Jeremy Speer<br />

Sports Editor<br />

GAYLORD — It had been a long<br />

time since the Gaylord boys basketball<br />

team has won a key game<br />

on sheer defensive effort. It had<br />

been even longer since the Blue<br />

Devils knocked olf nemesis Cadillac.<br />

On Friday, Gaylord accomplished<br />

both feats, defeating the<br />

Vikings for the first time in five<br />

years in a crucial 56-47 victory<br />

that gives the Blue Devils an early<br />

upper hand in the Big North Conference.<br />

"That's the best defense that's<br />

been played in this gym in a long<br />

time," said GHS coach Pat Enders.<br />

"I couldn't be more proud of our<br />

defensive effort."<br />

Senior Ben Simons, committed<br />

to Division 1 Drake University,<br />

led Cadillac with 25 points. The<br />

next highest Viking netted just six<br />

points, a testament to the Blue<br />

Devils' defensive intensity.<br />

Despite holding Cadillac to just<br />

eight points in the third quarter<br />

and taking a 39-31 lead behind<br />

a pair huge three-pointers off<br />

the bench by junior Dustin Mastej,<br />

Gaylord surrendered the lead in<br />

the fourth quarter, resulting in a<br />

43-43 tie.<br />

From that point, the Blue Devils<br />

(2-0) absolutely dominated, as<br />

senior Lucas Wickert drilled a big<br />

three-pointer and a subsequent<br />

inside bucket, senior loe Arnold<br />

hit back-to-back lay-ups and senior<br />

Nick Freeman and junior Kurt<br />

Dutcher made key scoring plays.<br />

During that span, the Gaylord<br />

defensive effort was never stronger<br />

as senior Quinn Woodhouse, who<br />

slowed Simons all day, forced the<br />

6-foot-7 guard to miss a number<br />

of shots.<br />

"This is huge; it is awesome,"<br />

Wickert said. "We all worked hard<br />

in the offseason for this."<br />

A trxie encouraging sign was the<br />

varied production from the deep<br />

Gaylord team. On a day where<br />

Woodhouse and Freeman, two of<br />

the BNC's top scorers, were held to<br />

just <strong>12</strong> points combined, a number<br />

of players stepped up.<br />

Arnold led the way with a clutch<br />

16 points, while Wickert tossed in<br />

13. Woodhouse added nine points<br />

in the victory, while Dutcher, playing<br />

a near-perfect point guard<br />

through the first two games, added<br />

seven.<br />

"It was one of those games<br />

where we didn't play our best offensively,"<br />

Enders said. "But our<br />

defense kept us in the game. Our<br />

seniors played like seniors and finished<br />

the game."<br />

Gaylord swarmed the Vikings<br />

in the first quarter, battling to a<br />

<strong>12</strong>-4 lead. As Simons heated up in<br />

the second, so did Cadillac (0-1),<br />

as Connor Parcell's layup off an<br />

inbounds play gave the Vikings a<br />

23-21 halftime lead.<br />

Gaylord opened the third quarter<br />

on a blistering 14-4 run, before a<br />

pair of Buckets by Simons and Psircell<br />

cut the Blue Devil lead to eight<br />

GAYLORD — The mark of a<br />

good team is the ability to battle<br />

through adversity.<br />

The St. Mary girls basketball<br />

team had its fair share of it Friday,<br />

blowing an 11-point lead inthe<br />

final four minutes, but recovering<br />

to a take a key 50-43<br />

overtime win against Ski Valley<br />

Conference rival Onaway.<br />

Up 11 points with four minutes<br />

remaining, the Cardinals<br />

went off, taking a two-point lead<br />

with 15 seconds back.<br />

The unshaken Snowbirds set<br />

up their offense and junior Liz<br />

Foster was fouled cutting to the<br />

basket.<br />

With 0.6 seconds left, Foster<br />

driUed a pair of clutch free<br />

throws to send the game into an<br />

extra frame, where the Snowbirds<br />

outscored Onaway 8-1.<br />

"We let one get away from<br />

us, but when we had a second<br />

chance, we took care of business,"<br />

said St. Mary coach Dale<br />

St. Mary (1-2,1-1 SkiValley<br />

the first 28 minutes of the<br />

game, jumping out to a 15-<br />

six points from junior Lauren<br />

Reppuhn, and holding<br />

strong at 27-18 at halftime<br />

and 34-23 after the third.<br />

"We played three very<br />

good quarters against a<br />

good team," Jacob said. "We<br />

let it slip in the fourth, because<br />

we didn't handle the<br />

situation well. We need to<br />

be able to close it out."<br />

Senior Sarah Bauer led<br />

the Snowbirds with 13<br />

points, including the first<br />

basket in overtime. Reppuhn<br />

GAYpOKD—The first period<br />

befeh kind to the<br />

Gaylotd hockey team.<br />

TWice this weekend, and<br />

twice prior to that, the Blue<br />

Devils fell behind big early<br />

and were forced to play<br />

catch-up.<br />

And despite their best efforts<br />

each time to battle back,<br />

the result each time has been<br />

predicatable — a Blue Devil<br />

loss. This weekend, Gaylord<br />

fell 5-3 to both No. 5-ranked<br />

Dearborn Divine Child and<br />

No. 6-ranked Flint Powers in<br />

the Division 3 Hockey Challenge.<br />

"This has been a nightmare,"<br />

said Gaylord coach<br />

Pete Wilkinson. "We've talked<br />

and talked about it, and we<br />

keep going out and doing exactly<br />

that we don't want to<br />

do. You can't spot a team two<br />

or three goals. You expend so<br />

much energy trying to come<br />

back."<br />

Saturday's battle with the<br />

Chargers was the perfect case<br />

and point. Powers scored on<br />

the game's first three shots,<br />

giving them a 3-0 advantage<br />

just over two minutes into<br />

the contest.<br />

Then, senior Taylor Carey<br />

was brought into the game<br />

and he performed excellently.<br />

not allowing the lead<br />

to grow.<br />

The No. 10-ranked Blue<br />

Devils came out a different<br />

team in the second, taking<br />

control of the play and eventually<br />

scoring on a beautiful<br />

top-shelf goal by senior<br />

Hunter Stier, who took a pass<br />

from senior Jeff Birk.<br />

Just moments later,<br />

Gaylord took advantage of a<br />

power play and netted a goal<br />

on a wraparound play by senior<br />

Gavin Palm.<br />

Still charging hard, the<br />

Blue Devils (2-4) took advantage<br />

of their aggressiveness<br />

just 30 seconds into the third<br />

period, when junior Joey Zaborowski<br />

flipped the puck<br />

into the back of the Powers<br />

net. Suddenly, Gaylord had<br />

tied the game and was outplaying<br />

the Chargers hand-<br />

Uy.<br />

"We didn't quit, the effort<br />

was there," Wilkinson said.<br />

"We just have to put together<br />

a full game and execute our<br />

game plan. We have to learn<br />

what it takes to win big<br />

games."<br />

in the first two p>eriods<br />

against Dearborn Divine<br />

Child, and fell behind 4-0.<br />

Gaylord again battled<br />

back, with seniors Kyle Eckert,<br />

Matt Zaremba and Birk<br />

netting third-period goals to<br />

cut into the defecit. Still, it<br />

was too little, too late.<br />

"It took us two periods to<br />

decide to play," Wilkinson<br />

said.<br />

easier for the Blue Devils this<br />

weekend, with a home game<br />

ALBA — The Vanderbilt<br />

seven-point bulge'heading<br />

into the fourth quarter, but<br />

poor foul shooting allowed<br />

host Alba to take a 43-37<br />

Northern Lakes Conference<br />

victory Friday.<br />

"It is the same thing that<br />

has plagued us all year —<br />

turnovers and foul shooting,"<br />

said Vanderbilt coach Chris<br />

Rupe. "We need somebody<br />

I to be able to step up from the<br />

t free-throw line. I can't go out<br />

I there and shoot it for them."<br />

I The Yellov^ackets {0-3,0i<br />

I the charity stripe in the fourth<br />

i quarter, and missed the front<br />

Those problems overshadowed<br />

a career ni^t from senior<br />

who led Vanderbilt with 21<br />

points and <strong>12</strong> rebounds.<br />

"You can't ask any more<br />

out of her," Rupe said. "She<br />

played her heart out"<br />

January.<br />

r Gaylord resident<br />

erry Grevala snowshoeing<br />

is a way to<br />

exercise and stave off<br />

cabin fever. Starting<br />

in January, she hopes<br />

to help others shake off the winter<br />

blahs with community snowshoeing<br />

outings every Sunday on the<br />

grounds of the Northland Sportsmen's<br />

Club.<br />

Grevala credits Gaylord couple<br />

Dick and Linda<br />

Myers — who<br />

have been snowshoeing<br />

for a decade—<br />

for introducing<br />

her to the<br />

sport a year ago.<br />

"Now I go out<br />

just about every<br />

day," Grevala said.<br />

She was joined<br />

by the Myerses<br />

for a quick jaunt<br />

around the club<br />

grounds on Dec.<br />

7. under blue<br />

skies and across<br />

deep» fresh powder,<br />

on the first of<br />

what she anticipates will be many<br />

opportunities for the community to<br />

t^e part in the sport.<br />

- "My personal motivation is because<br />

snowshoeing is an excellent<br />

form of exercise during the winter<br />

months," Grevala said. "I like the<br />

social aspect of gathering in the<br />

winter because don't we hibernate<br />

in the VkinterTYou have to get out<br />

and enjoy something so you don't<br />

get cabin fever."<br />

The outir^, which are free and<br />

open to the public, coincide with<br />

the club's Simday morning pancake<br />

breakfasts and continue is long<br />

as there's snow. Grevala expects one<br />
