Harrisville grocery store to open soon under new owner
By Cheryl Peterson
Editor
The doors of Mr. Ed’s IGA
in Harrisville were closed less
than a month only to be opening again as the Harrisville
Harbor Grocery.
The new owner of the grocery store, Steve Arens, attended the City of Harrisville
Council meeting Monday
evening. “Last Wednesday I
signed a purchase agreement
with Grant Hampton,” Arens
said. “We’ve been coming here
for years... We love the community, we love the area…
Even though I own several
businesses, this is my first
retail venture… My wife, who
owned a retail business for
five years, suggested it.”
Arens, and his wife,
Sandra, live in Commerce,
Mich. (near Novi, Mich.) They
have 10 children and have
owned hunting property in
Alcona County since 1996.
They purchased a cabin in
2000, quickly out grew it and
purchased a home in 2005
and added on to it in 2009.
Arens plans to open the
grocery store before the
Fourth of July weekend, and
will officially own the business when the liquor license
is transferred into his name.
For the last several days, he
and a crew of employees from
his downstate business have
been working inside the grocery store on several remodeling projects.
“We are doing maintenance
and a light remodel,” Arens
said. “I’m focusing on the
foyer right now. I would like
to do it (remodel the entire
store) all at once but I can’t. I
don’t have the time right now.
It’s very important to open
the store as soon as possible… I will open without
the liquor license if I have to.”
Arens explained that later
this winter he plans to replace the four free-standing
coolers, “do whatever is
needed with the floor,” re-
place the ceiling and do whatever is necessary in the meat/
deli area. He is in the process
of installing a new register
upgrade or point of sales
(POS) system in order to
streamline the checkout process and upgrade purchasing/inventory and store
records. He also plans on remodeling the exterior of the
building.
“It’s going to be like new,”
Arens said. “This is the town’s

Food programs help
area seniors and youth
By Mary Weber
Staff Writer
There are many who fight
an unending battle to make
ends and provide nourishment
to their families. Although
hunger does not discriminate
by age, young children and
elderly citizens tend to be the
most vulnerable for malnutrition.
Alcona County residents
have a few resources which
specifically contribute food to
just seniors and young children.
• Senior citizens age 60 and
older in need of food can participate in the Senior Commodities Supplemental Food
Program (CSFP).
The CSFP is a year around
program designed to aid low
income seniors. The program
provides nutritious food
supplements to eligible participants once a month.
Seniors qualifying for low
income status must meet the
program’s Federal Income
Guidelines. Deborah Wilds,
food program coordinator at
Northeast Michigan Community
Service
Agency
(NEMCSA), said the guidelines
are based on 130 percent of
the federal poverty income.
“Right now that means a
single person household maximum income would be $1,276
per month. Maximum for a
two person household, over
the age of 60, would be $1,726.
We typically serve about 200
senior citizens in Alcona
(county) and we have the ability to serve more if they
qualify,” Wilds said. She advised anyone who is not sure
if they qualify to call the
NEMCSA office.

store… it's part of the community. I want to revive the
community… I believe in
people, process and product.
Arens owns two manufacturing and production businesses in Commerce Township – Michigan Roll Form,
Inc. which makes machinery
and tools and Land Case Urethane, Inc. which makes rubber parts. Sandra Arens has
been an au pair coordinator
for roughly 15 years.
Moving into retail from
Food
manufacturing is giving
Arens diversity – which is
what he finds challenging and
stimulating. “I like the diversity and action… even in bad
times, people have to eat.”
He also has experience in
purchasing properties, remodeling them and then selling them. However, he is eventually planning on retiring in
Harrisville and will keep the
business. “This is not a flip…
That’s not why I’m doing
this… I like the community...
I like the area… I like coming
here. I can’t imagine a town
this size without a grocery
store. I am willing to put in
the money and effort for us to
have that.
“This is the town’s store; it
is part of the community. I’m
here to help. I look forward to
earning the town’s business.
I want people to shop there
because they want to shop
there. I want to be responsive
to the community,” Arens
said.
identification is needed with
proof of income to fill out an
application to receive commodity supplements.
Each qualifying participant
receives about 14 items which
include shelf stable milk products, cereal, pasta or rice,
canned vegetables and fruit, a
meat product in a can or
pouch, a two pound block of
cheese and juice.
Wilds said the box of food is
only a supplement and not
intended to meet the nutrition
needs for an entire month,
but should help stretch a
senior’s budget.
The next available commodity days for this summer will
be July 13 and August 10
from 9 to 10 a.m. at the Alcona
County Commission on Aging
(Lincoln Senior Center).
There is also a quarterly
surplus delivery available to
everyone in need, no matter
what their age. No application
is necessary for the quarterly
surplus. Identification is still
required and participants
must sign a paper of self declaration stating they are in
need. The next quarterly surplus will run in August.
• Alcona Elementary School
and the Alcona Health Center
(AHC) Tiger Extension staff
are offering a few new ways to
fight children’s hunger . They
are offering a Meet Up and Eat
Up free lunch geared toward
elementary age children for
three weeks in the summer.
The program is available to
any child in Alcona County,
no matter where they attend
school, and it coincides with
the Summer Safari Day Camp.
Free lunch begins at 11:30
a.m. to 12:30 p.m., Monday
through Thursday, June 22
through 26, July 6 through
July 10 and July 20 through
July 24.
Kristin Benghauser, behavior health consultant with AHC
Tiger Extension, said there is
no registration necessary for
the lunch program. “We just
hope the children who need
this program will be able to get
to the school. We really have
no idea who will be able to
take advantage of it and how
many to expect, but we are,
hopefully, ready to feed all
who are able to get here,” she
said.
Benghauser explained that
about 125 children are given
lunch every year during the
three weeks of day camp.
In addition to free lunches,
the Tiger Extension will be
offering a summer food pantry for children who are part of
the weekend back pack food
program during the school
year.
The weekend backpack program provides children at risk
of hunger easy access to nutritious, nonperishable food
items to meet their needs when
they are off from school on
Saturday and Sunday during
the school year.
Benghauser said there are
about 60 students at the
school who receive weekend
back packs. “Unfortunately,
in June when the kids get out
of school for the summer, the
back pack program stops,”
Benghauser said.
She and many others were
concerned about how students fare without receiving
free school lunches during the
week and the additional aid
on the weekends, so for the
first time they will operate a
summer food pantry.
The summer pantry was
made possible by a $1,200
grant from United Way with
the food coming from the Food
Bank of Eastern Michigan
(FBEM).
The particulars of when the
summer pantry will be open
at the school are still being
decided. Benghauser believes
it will be available near the
end of the month for each
month during the summer
break.
Monetary donations for the
Food Bank of Eastern Michigan can be sent to Kathleen
Payton, Food Bank of Eastern
Michigan, 2312 Lapeer Road,
Flint, Mich., 48503. Checks
should be noted in the memo
line Alcona Elementary School
BP 1359, for credit to go to
Alcona County students.
All Alcona Elementary earmarked funds sent to FBEM
during the months of June,
July and August will be used
for the summer food pantry at
the school. Funds received
from September through May
will be used for the weekend
back pack program.

the Alcona Elementary School

and Eat Up free lunch or the

for Life has begun its sponsorship drive already receiving nearly $3,300 dollars for
the fight against cancer. The
Relay is asking for sponsorship donations so it can, once
again, give a $10,000 donation from Alcona County. The
relay will take place on July
25 from noon to midnight at
the Alcona High School track.
The hours have been reduced
from a 24 hour relay to a 12
hour relay to accommodate
more families and older folks.
All are invited to attend. The
theme this year is “Holidays”
with many great holidays still
available for teams to dress
up and have fun with.
This year Relay for Life is
asking Alcona County to
“paint the town purple” for
the month of July by stringing purple ribbons around
trees and wearing purple on
Fridays to promote awareness and the fight against all
cancers. Anyone interested
in donating or participating
as a team or a single member
may do so by signing up under the Relay for Life, Alcona
County website; by calling
Veronica Brown at (989) 3350844 or Mary Weber at (989)

SENIOR LIFESTYLES
Choosing a home blood pressure monitor
Dear Savvy Senior,
Can you offer me any tips
on choosing a home blood
pressure monitor? I just
found out I have high blood
pressure, and my doctor told
me I need a monitor for the
house so I can keep an eye on
it.
Shopping Around
Dear Shopping,
Almost everyone with high
blood pressure or prehypertension should have a home
blood pressure monitor.
Home monitoring can help
you keep tabs on your blood
pressure in a comfortable
setting. Plus, if you’re taking
medication it will make certain it’s working, and alert
you to a health problem if it
arises.
The two most popular types
of home blood pressure monitors on the market today are
(electric and/or battery powered) automatic arm monitors, and automatic wrist
monitors.
With an automatic arm
monitor, you simply wrap the
cuff around your bicep and
with the push of one button
the cuff inflates and deflates
automatically giving you your
blood pressure reading on the
display window in a matter of
seconds.
Wrist monitors work similarly, except they attach to
the wrist. Wrist monitors are
also smaller in size and a bit
more comfortable to use than
the arm monitors, but they
tend to be a little less accurate.
To help you choose the best
monitor for you, here are several things you need to check
into:
• Fit: Using a cuff that’s the
wrong size can result in a bad
reading. Most arm models
have two sizes or an adjustable cuff that fits most people.
Make sure your choice fits
the circumference of your
upper arm.
• Accuracy: Check the
packaging to make sure the
monitor has been independently tested and validated
for accuracy and reliability.
You can see a list of validated

monitors at dableducational.org.
• Ease of use: Be sure the
display on the monitor is easy
to read and understand, and
that the buttons are big
enough. The directions for
applying the cuff and operating the monitor should be
clear.
• Extra features: Many
monitors come with additional features such as irregular heartbeat detection
that checks for arrhythmias
and other abnormalities; a
risk category indicator that
tells you whether your blood
pressure is in the high range;
a data-averaging function
that allows you to take multiple readings and get an overall average; multiple user
memory that allows two or
more users to save previous
readings; and computer connections so you can download the data to your computer.
• Portability: If you plan to
take your monitor with you
while traveling, look for one
with a carrying case.
Savvy
Senior
You can find blood pressure monitors at pharmacies,
medical supply stores or online, and you don’t need a
prescription to buy one.
The price will typically
range anywhere from $30 to
$120 or more. Unfortunately,
original Medicare does not
pay for home blood pressure
monitors unless you’re receiving dialysis at home. But
if you have a Medicare Advantage plan or a private
health insurance policy it’s
worth checking into, because
some plans may provide coverage.

cottage garden at 5180 E. Alcona Road, Harrisville,
where she has lived since 1999, as garden of the month
for June. Goll, pictured with her husband David Bastion
and dog Cheyenne, has been gardening since she was
five years old, when her mother couldn’t keep her out of
the garden. She loves the feel of the dirt on her hands
and even gardens barefooted. The peacefulness of her
garden, which is perched on the hill at the top of Alcona
Road, is what inspires her. Drive by and view this

Fair weather big turn out
Memorial Day observance was very successful
The people took advantage
of the beautiful weather Monday and turned out in large
numbers for the Memorial
Day exercises at Court House
Park and at the various cemeteries.
The program was carried
out nearly as previously announced. The various schools
contributed to the program,
which was delivered from the
speaker’s stand and received
good attention. Pupils from
six schools participated,
namely: Spencer, Killmaster,
Wilson, Fisher, Dean and
Harrisville. Four old veterans—W.B. Hogue, Jos. Sovey,
L. H. Dunn and James E.
Smith, occupied seats on the
platform.
Following the program the
procession formed with the
veterans and the decorating
committee in the lead and
proceeded to the three cemeteries. At each soldier’s grave
Chairman Colwoll of the decorating committee announced
the name of the deceased and
the company and regiment to
which he belonged; and the
lady members, Mrs. Helen
Emerson and Mrs. J. E.
Henderson, placed the
wreaths and flags. Solemn
and patriotic music was
played by the band at each
cemetery.
Many of those from a distance came prepared for a
basket dinner, which they
enjoyed in the park. Killmaster school came in a pretty
evergreen-covered wagon
drawn by four horses driven
abreast, and attracted considerable attention.
The crowd at the park during the exercises was one of
the largest ever held here on
a similiar occasion and the
observance as a whole was
one of the most successful
ever held in Harrisville.

Spring stocking effort keeps
fisheries staffers on the road
Steve VanDerLaan is a
busy guy this time of year.
As the Michigan Department of Natural Resources’
(DNR) statewide fish-stocking biologist, it’s VanDerLaan’s job to get the annual
hatchery production – in the
vicinity of 18 million fish
weighing 395 tons – out to
the state’s lakes and streams
during a roughly eight-week
window.
He has plenty of help. Ed
Eisch, who works out of the
Platte River State Fish Hatchery and supervises the sixhatchery system, is in charge
of raising the fish. Christian
LeSage, a fisheries biologist
who works out of Lansing,
Mich. is in charge of allocating them. And a handful of
workers load and drive the
trucks. But VanDerLaan is
in charge of getting them
where they belong.
The DNR maintains a fleet
of 18 fish-stocking vehicles.
They range in size from a
300-gallon-capacity truck
that’s small enough to negotiate two tracks to a 3,500gallon, single-compartment
truck used largely to transport salmon to Great Lakes
ports.
“Our mainstay is a 1,200gallon ‘Peterson’ unit with
four 300-gallon tanks,” said
VanDerLaan. “We have 10 of
those. And we have four intermediate-class trucks,
2,000 gallons. Three of them
are four-compartment units,
and one is a single-compartment unit – it basically discharges the entire tank in
one shot.”
Multiple compartment vehicles are the way to go, VanDerLaan said. This is something he recognized since taking over this responsibility
nearly 15 years ago. “The
larger units of the past were
mostly single-compartments
because they were for big
plants in the Great Lakes,”
he said.
“They had the capacity to
carry a large load for one
stocking site, but they weren’t
very versatile. In most cases,
one stocking trip from the
hatchery has multiple different stocking sites. So we’re
getting away from single-compartment, hatchery-specific
units and going to multiplecompartment vehicles that all
the facilities can easily use.
That’s the wave of the future.”
The DNR recently added
two new stocking trucks, a
pair of 3,200-gallon units
each with four 800-gallon
compartments. The trucks
have bottom discharges as
well as an additional sidedischarge port for each compartment, just in case of a
valve failure.
The trucks cost around
$300,000 apiece. “The last
truck we turned in, we had
for 20 years,” said VanDerLaan. “We baby those trucks.
They’re very valuable.”
Stocking events often turn
into a show as interested
anglers arrive at stocking
sites to see their future
quarry. One of the trucks recently brought 32,000 steelhead to the Huron River in

Monroe County, one of two
deliveries made to the site.
About two dozen spectators –
several who pitched in to help
DNR personnel hook up the
discharge tubes – were on
hand. Many were members
of area fishing clubs, several
of whom brought shotguns
and cracker shells to haze
any cormorants or gulls that
might have come by looking
for easy pickings.
The trucks are equipped
with liquid oxygen tanks to
saturate the water and make
sure the fish are in a healthy
condition when they arrive.
“Depending on the fish
we’re hauling, each species
behaves very differently on
the truck during transport,”
VanDerLaan said. “Brown
trout tend to stack up on
each other and if the water is
not circulated uniformly,
they’ll suffocate themselves
in the corners of the tanks.
Lake trout tend to congregate near the bottom of the
tanks. Steelhead and domestic-strain rainbow trout tend
to be all over the tank.”
By the end of stocking season, the vehicles will have
totaled close to 120,000
miles. Fish stocking usually
begins in late March, at ice
out, VanDerLaan said, but at
times he can’t be held to the
calendar. “If a hatchery is
really jammed up with fish
and they don’t have the room
in the hatchery to hold them,
we have to stock them out.
We’re not above cutting holes
in the ice to plant those fish if
we have to.”
The work begins much earlier in the year when field
biologists request fish for
stocking. The biologists suggest three stocking levels per
stocking site – what they
would like (what the fish
heads at the DNR call “Level
2”), the minimum they could
live with, and the maximum
number of fish they feel a site
can take.
“We always shoot for Level
2,” VanDerLaan said, “but
occasionally mistakes are
made. A site might get doubleplanted for instance. It happens. So, if someone doubleplants a site, how do we
handle that? How do we make
up those fish? Do we cut one
site or do we take a small cut
across the board? That decision becomes especially difficult when you get toward the
end of the fish inventory. In
cases like that, we solicit a
variety of inputs so everyone
knows what’s going on and
why.
“It can get crazy. Vehicles
break down – that can happen any hour, day or night,
anywhere in the state – and
we’ve got to get a mechanic or
somebody out there to help
them. It drives you a little bit
nuts at times,” he said.
As the DNR’s stocking biologist, VanDerLaan also coordinates the marking program. Fish are marked in a
variety of ways – fin clips,

chasing the markers, maintaining the inventory and
making sure it gets done.
When the annual stocking
is completed, VanDerLaan,
who divides his time between
the Wolf Lake State Fish
Hatchery and the Platte River
facility, maintains the fleet,
including design and purchase of new vehicles and
disposal of retired ones. He
makes sure his drivers are
trained, tested and certified,
and he handles all the neces-
sary paperwork.
And he loves it. “The job is
very gratifying,” he said. “Like
any job it has its days – some
are way better than others.
But I enjoy what I’m doing. I
don’t raise any fish, but I
work with a lot of good people
who do. I just try to do my
part and make sure they get
where they’re supposed to
go.”

Catching a flathead catfish in Michigan
Fishing for catfish can be a
fun experience. There are two
common types of catfish in
Michigan – channel and flathead. There’s one main difference with fishing for the
flathead than other catfish
species – anglers often use
live baitfish when pursuing
them, unlike the various
earthworms, shrimp or various stink-bait concoctions
many catfish anglers use.
Summer is the most popular season to fish for flatheads;
they tend to live in slow-flowing rivers where they typically inhabit deep holes. Veteran flathead anglers often
pursue them at night, fishing
on the bottom in the leading
edge of the hole or on the flats
upstream. Large minnows,
small sunfish or cut suckers
are preferred baits.
Northeastern
Lower Peninsula
June 4
• Rogers City: Lake trout
fishing is great. Anglers may
have to spend time finding
the fish but once they do its
good fishing. Try 10 feet off
the bottom in 25 to 60 feet
with cowbells or dodgers and
spin-glos. Look for Chinook
and Atlantic salmon as the
water warms up. Walleye were
caught at night off the breakwall by those casting body
baits.
• East and West Twin
Lakes: Fishing was slow as
both lakes will need to rebound after the cold temperatures, rain and strong winds.
One angler did catch a 26inch pike and a 16-inch walleye in West Twin.
• Alpena: Lake trout have
been center stage. Hot spots
were Northshore and Thunder Bay Island when the
weather permits. Fish were
caught on cowbells, dodgers
and hoochie mammas with
spin-glos, squid or plain
spoons. Good colors were
green, blue and orange up
high for a stray steelhead or
Chinook.
Walleye are finally starting
to hit. Not consistent but getting better. Northshore was
the hot spot when trolling
green, purple and orange
body baits in 10 to 20 feet.
• Thunder Bay River: The
steelhead are pretty much
done except for the occasional
fish caught by those drifting
spawn bags or putting artificial eggs on the bottom.
Smallmouth bass have been
caught when casting body
baits or tube baits or spinners up at the dam and
around structure.
• Harrisville: Dredging is
still going. The pumping hose
is in the channel leading out
of the harbor but is clearly
marked with orange buoys.
Anglers need to be cautious.
It seems the sediment being
churned up is bringing
baitfish into the harbor and
the large fish are following.
Walleye are in the area in
good numbers. The cold front
slowed the bite however, it
should be back on by the end
of the week. Crawler harnesses, body baits and stick
baits have caught fish. Chinook, lake trout and steelhead were caught in 80 to
120 feet. The fish are scattered from top to bottom so
spread baits out. Most fish

are coming on spoons but
cut bait, squid and flies were
also working.
• Oscoda: Walleye are still
trickling in and the fish are
decent size. Pier anglers are
drifting crawlers with slip
bobbers, casting body baits
or jigging. Trout and salmon
were caught in 80 to 100 feet.
Lake trout seem to be the
most abundant but a few
Chinook were also caught.
Steelhead were running near
the top of the water column
and hitting on spoons, cut
bait, body baits and wobble

• Houghton Lake: Shore
anglers are catching a few
walleye and bass in the canals. Boat anglers are taking
walleye in eight to nine feet
around the Middle Grounds
with leeches and crank baits.
Walleye chasing minnows at
night were caught by shore
anglers. For bluegills, boat

anglers caught some nice fish
one to four feet down in six
feet of water. Bass fishing
has been good. Carp were
taken by those bow fishing.
• Tawas: Pier fishing was
slow with only a few catfish,
pike and smallmouth bass
caught in the bay. Night anglers might be getting a few
walleye. Those trolling spoons
in 35 to 50 feet did find some
lake trout.
• AuGres: Some walleyes
were caught right off the river
mouth in 25 to 35 feet but
most boats were running
south of Pointe AuGres to
fish around Buoys No. 1 and
No. 2 and along the “humps”
northeast of the buoys.
• AuGres River: Was slow
except for a few catfish, carp
and freshwater drum caught
on crawlers or cut bait. On
the East Branch, a few anglers were surfcasting for
walleye at night.
Anglers, bait dealers
reminded of minnow
use regulations
Anglers and retail minnow
dealers should be aware of
the baitfish regulations that
need to be followed in Michigan.
According to the Michigan
Department of Natural Resources (DNR) the requirement for state licensed bait
retailers to provide customers with receipts upon purchasing live minnows no
longer exists, however, all
other regulations with respect to minnow use continue to be enforced.
Baitfish regulations were
enacted in 2006 to reduce
the potential for baitfish to
move fish diseases as the
state saw multiple fish dieoffs in lakes Erie and Huron
from viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus (VHSv).
“While fish kills from VHSv
have become less common,
we do not want this fish
pathogen to spread across
Michigan,” said Tom Goniea,
DNR fisheries biologist. “Our
regulations are designed to
prevent this from occurring.”
The following are some of
the key requirements anglers
and retail bait dealers should
be aware of when selling and
using live minnows as bait in
Michigan:
• Fathead minnows and
golden shiners are the most
common minnows imported
and sold in Michigan and
they are not on the VHSv
susceptible species list so the
VHSv regulations do not apply to these species.
• Spottail shiners (blues),
emerald shiner (grays), and
white suckers (sucker or pike
minnows) are the most common minnows sold in Michigan that are susceptible to
VHSv and the baitfish regulations apply to these species. They are commonly harvested from Michigan waters
for use as bait.
• Bait retailers must verbally inform their customers
where they can use the bait.
• Minnows not on the VHSv
susceptible species list as
well as those that have been
certified as “disease free” can
be used anywhere in the
state.
• Uncertified minnows harvested in Michigan from
VHSv free-waters can be used
anywhere. Waters currently
classified as VHSv-free include Lake Superior and its
tributaries and all Lake
Michigan tributary streams
above the first fish barrier
and all inland lakes in the
Michigan and Superior basins.
VHSv surveillance waters can
only be used in waters designated as surveillance or positive. Water classified as VHSv
surveillance waters include
Lake Michigan and its tributaries up to the first fish barrier and all Lake Huron, St.
Clair and Erie tributary
streams (including the St.
Mary’s, St. Clair and Detroit
rivers) above the first fish
barrier. All inland lakes in
the Huron and Erie basins.
VHSv positive waters can only

Motocross racing offers thrills, chills,
dust and mud to riders and spectators
By Mary Weber
Staff Writer
Revving engines, heart
pumping speed, twists,
turns, bumps and jumps on
a dirt track is what motocross
racing is all about.
Those who participate in
this extreme sport say there
isn’t another sport more
physically or mentally taxing. Those who watch from
the sidelines say there is
nothing that compares to the
sight of a bike and its rider
hitting a jump, sailing
through the air and landing
safely with just enough time
to make the next corner.
Alcona County has one of
the only operating motocross
track race courses left in
northern Michigan, bringing
motocross enthusiasts from
all over the tip of the mitten
and beyond to race there
eight times each summer.
The clay and sand track
was built over a dozen years
ago inside the Alcona County
Fairgrounds, across from the
soccer fields in Lincoln. Dirt,
Incorporated, a nonprofit
group, runs the track and
has done so since March
2006. Craig Schram, presi-
corner and how you are going to set it up. Trying to pass
somebody, you have to anticipate what they are going
to do so you can get around
them. It’s one of the most
demanding sports out there,”
Shram said.
Brian Travis, 52, of Spruce
said his dad, cousins and
uncles all ride and have for
years. Brian said it is a great
way to keep in shape. He
survived a heart attack about
12 years ago and since then
has increased exercise and
reduces stress by riding,

dent of Dirt, Inc., said a group
called the Northern Berm
Bandits first built the track,
which still offers racers the
perfect environment for their
sport.
Schram explained motocross racing is a sport which
teaches discipline, preparation, goal setting, the satisfaction of winning and sometimes dealing with disappointment. “It’s different than
most sports because it’s an
individual sport. It’s just the
rider and their machine,”
Schram said.
Both dirt motorcycles and
quad all terrain vehicles are
raced on the track, however,
Dirt, Inc. may do away with
the quad racing since the
interest has dropped.
Schram said racers four
years and up participate in
motocross which doesn’t appeal to just males. Many females enjoy the thrill of racing. He said families race together and, sometimes, even
three generations of families
participate.
“Once it’s in your blood it
stays forever. It’s physically
demanding but there is a lot
of mental work that goes into
it too. You have to anticipate
the next jump or the next
you forget about your
troubles,” he said.
Both Brian and his cousin,
Mike Travis, said they enjoy
racing, but also enjoy the
time they get to spend socially with family and friends
which makes for a great
weekend. Mike has been
riding since he was four and
said his dad, Kelvin Travis, is
still a pretty good racer at 62.
Schram explained they
typically have about 100 racers participating in two or
three races and many of them
bring their families to watch
the races. He said since the
racers and their families
make a weekend of the events
by camping and socializing,
there is a lot of money which
is spent locally buying food,
fuel and other supplies bringing in additional income to
the area.
Schram said motocross is
a great spectator sport and
watching younger racers is
just as exciting as watching
the older, experienced ones.
He downplayed the dangers
of the sport saying there were
very few injuries on the race
track, but an ambulance
stands by during the races
Ten reasons to support local businesses
Buy local to support your community
1) Buy local -- support yourself: Several studies have
shown that when you buy from an independent, locally
owned business, rather than a nationally owned businesses, significantly more of your money is used to make
purchases from other local businesses, service providers
and farms -- continuing to strengthen the economic base
of the community.
2) Support community groups: Non-profit organizations
receive an average 250% more support from smaller
business owners than they do from large businesses.
3) Keep our community unique: Where we shop, where
we eat and have fun -- all of it makes our community
home. Our one-of-a-kind businesses are an integral part
of the distinctive character of this place. Our tourism
businesses also benefit. “When people go on vacation
they generally seek out destinations that offer them the
sense of being someplace, not just anyplace.” ~ Richard
Moe, President, National Historic Preservation Trust
4) Reduce environmental impact: Locally owned businesses can make more local purchases requiring less
transportation and generally set up shop in town or city
centers as opposed to developing on the fringe. This
generally means contributing less to sprawl, congestion,
habitat loss and pollution.
5) Create more good jobs: Small local businesses are the
largest employer nationally and in our community, provide the most jobs to residents.
6) Get better service: Local businesses often hire people
with a better understanding of the products they are selling
and take more time to get to know customers.
7) Invest in community: Local businesses are owned by
people who live in this community, are less likely to leave,
and are more invested in the community’s future.
8) Put your taxes to good use: Local businesses in town
centers require comparatively little infrastructure investment and make more efficient use of public services as
compared to nationally owned stores entering the community.
9) Buy what you want, not what someone wants you to
buy: A marketplace of tens of thousands of small businesses is the best way to ensure innovation and low prices
over the long-term. A multitude of small businesses, each
selecting products based not on a national sales plan but on
their own interests and the needs of their local customers,
guarantees a much broader range of product choices.
10) Encourage local prosperity: A growing body of economic research shows that in an increasingly homogenized world, entrepreneurs and skilled workers are more
likely to invest and settle in communities that preserve
their one-of-a-kind businesses and distinctive character.

Jake Wassman of Lincoln makes a jump on the motocross track at the Alcona Recreational Area of the
fairgrounds in Lincoln. The track is managed by Dirt,
Incorporated, a non-profit organization which holds
races on the track for riders age four to senior citizen
eight times a year during the summer. Courtesy photo.
just in case. He said his son,
Jeff, did suffer one light concussion, but nothing else in
the 13 years he has been
racing.
Of course, with any extreme sport, the older the
rider the more tolls it takes
on the body. Mike Travis has
had injuries to both knees
and had some broken ribs,
but “nothing too bad.” He
laughed and said, “Ribs don’t
really count as broken
bones... It’s just a part of the
sport. Heck, you can get injured just lying on your
couch; you might as well have
fun. It’s an adrenaline rush.
“A young racer gets addicted to winning but as you
get older you just race because you love it. There is a
lot of thinking involved, 90
percent of the race is mental
- - you can beat people before
you even leave the start line.
There’s just no other sport
like it.”
Each racer is responsible
for their own bike or quad,
all maintenance, parts and
equipment, including the
safety equipment they must
wear. Helmets, goggles and
boots covering the ankles are
mandatory. Chest and back
protection, also known as
body armor, is recommended.
Mike said his boots alone
cost $600, but Schram explained a lot of times people
can get used equipment and
clothing from people they talk
to at the races or at swaps.
According to Schram the
cost for a good used bike is
about $2,000 and they go up
from there. Serious racers
can spend tens of thousands
a year just on their bikes and
maintenance.
Dirt, Inc. is not affiliated
with the American Motocross
Association (AMA) because
of the additional expense involved with the membership.
“We charge our racers $15 a
class to race and charge $5
per person five years and up
to watch. That money goes to
insurance, maintaining the
track, a banquet at the end
of the year, trophies, and a
scholarship for an Alcona
County student. Costs for the
AMA can be upwards from
$30 a class to even $50 a
class race,” Schram said.
Races began Memorial Day
weekend and will continue
during the summer on June
20 and 21, July 18 and 19,
August 22 during the fair
and the end of season race
on September 12 with a trophy presentation. Registration opens at 8 a.m. on the
day of the race. Practice begins at 10 a.m. Races start at
11 a.m.

Schram at (989) 335-1689.

New fishing, hunting fees boost DNR resources
The Harrisville
United Methodist
Church would like
to thank the
community for their
wonderful support
of our Soup and
Pie suppers. Our
church roof is paid
for and we are
appreciative! Join
us again in the fall
on the third Thursday of each month
for fellowship and
a warm meal!
Thank you again.

Capital News Service
Michigan got more boots
on the ground, waders in the
water and eyes in the field
thanks to an extra $8 million
earned from restructuring
sales of hunting and fishing
licenses.
The Department of Natural Resources (DNR) did away
with restricted species fishing licenses and instead began offering all-species licenses for $26 last March. A
change was also made to
hunting licenses, requiring
the purchase of an $11 base
license for small game before
additional licenses for other
species can be purchased.
In eight months, an additional $8 million was produced through the restructured license sales, according to Ed Golder, DNR public
information officer.
The license revenue pays
for many DNR efforts to manage natural resources. “We
needed some kind of change
to the structure to increase
revenue,” Golder said.

Michigan’s total license
take was $58.4 million for
2014.
The new money will be put
to use as soon as possible.
Around $3 million has already gone toward habitat
grants, Golder said. And more
money will go toward hiring
biologists and conservation
officers.
Outdoor enthusiasts like
Molly Good appreciate the
extra waders around. “I’ve
noticed that many of my
friends, colleagues and coworkers like to recreationally
fish, but don’t think to purchase licenses,” said Good, a
graduate student in fisheries
and wildlife at Michigan State
University. The presence of
more conservation officers
will help remind any forgetful
anglers to purchase the necessary license or two, she
said.
Reducing the types of licenses from more than 200
to a little more than 40 was a
big change for Michigan, and
not every angler and hunter
was thrilled with it.
There was a definite shift
in buying patterns, Golder
said. The DNR expected a
drop in the numbers of people
buying licenses to be around
seven percent, but the drop
was slightly less than expected.
According to Golder, the
number of fishing licenses
sold went down by 5.8 percent, but it’s hard to know if
the decrease is related to price
or due to a number of other
factors including winter
storms and a late spring.
Nonresident annual license sales also took a hit,
dropping by 41 percent. DNR
Director Keith Creagh will discount them March 1 to $68
instead of $76, with the intention of reengaging out-ofstate anglers, Golder said.
The number of licenses
sold to nonresidents was
lower than expected which
resulted in a lower revenue
than expected. But the $8
million total extra gain has
those losses already factored
in, Golder explained.

vation Clubs, the state’s largest coalition of outdoor
groups, supported the license
restructure, said Amy Trotter, the organization’s resource policy manager.
The group worked with the
DNR on deciding where the
additional money would go
and how to report that information to keep anglers and
hunters in the loop, she said.
In general, “the revenue
wasn’t as high as was expected,” Trotter said. But they
are working to figure out how
to get the revenue that they
predicted.

after purchase.
• Anglers can catch their
own minnows but must follow the same use restrictions

According to Goniea, it is
very important that anglers
and bait dealers remain vigi-
lant in their efforts to follow
the regulations involving bait
use in order to prevent the
spread of VHSv to additional
waters in Michigan.

Moments In Time
By The History Channel
• On June 26, 1807, lightning hits a gunpowder factory in
Luxembourg, sparking an explosion that kills more than 300
people and levels two entire blocks.
• On June 22, 1944, President Franklin Roosevelt signs
the G.I. Bill, designed to compensate returning armed services members for their efforts in World War II. FDR hoped
to avoid a relapse of the Great Depression following World
War I.
• On June 25, 1950, an American soccer team composed
largely of amateurs stuns England 1-0 at the World Cup. The
hastily assembled U.S. team included a dishwasher, two
mailmen, a teacher and a mill worker.
• On June 28, 1965, in the first major offensive of the
Vietnam War, 3,000 troops of the U.S. 173rd Airborne
Brigade assault a jungle area near Saigon. The operation was
called off after three days when it failed to make contact with
the enemy.
• On June 23, 1973, President Richard Nixon's adviser
H.R. Haldeman tells the president to pressure the head of the
FBI to stay the out of the Watergate burglary investigation - in essence, to obstruct justice. The taped conversation
eventually brought the down the Nixon administration and
led to his resignation.
• On June 27, 1985, after 59 years, officials vote to
decertify the iconic Route 66 and to remove all its highway
signs. Measuring 2,200 miles, the "Mother Road" stretched
from Chicago to Santa Monica, California, passing through
eight states.
• On June 24, 1997, U.S. Air Force officials release a 231page report dismissing claims of an alien spacecraft crash in
Roswell, New Mexico, in 1947. The document stated that the
"bodies" recovered were not aliens but dummies used in
parachute tests.

Strange But True
By Samantha Weaver
• It was Alice Roosevelt, prominent socialite and daughter
of President Theodore Roosevelt, who declared that her
purpose in life was to "empty what's full, fill what's empty,
and scratch where it itches."
• King James VI of Scotland was also, after the crowns of
England and Scotland were united in 1603, King James I of
England. He may have been doubly noble, but those who
study such things say that his personal habits would not
have been out of place in a commoner of the time period. He
reportedly never bathed, claiming that baths were an unhealthy practice, and he would wear the same clothes for
months on end.
• Three of the first five presidents of the United States -John Adams, Thomas Jefferson and James Monroe -- died on
July 4.
• Fans of the long-running sitcom "Scrubs" will be familiar
with the main character, Dr. John "J.D." Dorian, and his best
friend, Dr. Christopher Turk. You might not realize, though,
that the actors who played those roles -- Zach Braff and
Donald Faison -- also are best friends in real life.
• The game of tag may seem like an innocent children's
pastime, but in some countries it has a sinister undertone.
In Italy, players pretend that anyone getting tagged has
caught the black plague. In Madagascar, leprosy is the
contagion that is being supposedly spread by the game, while
in Spain, it's relatively harmless fleas.
• Taking the stairs may be good for your cardiovascular
health, but there are dangers you might not know of. In an
average year, approximately 27 people are killed while using
an elevator, while 1,600 die while taking the stairs.

In public comment time Teresa
Hart and Naomi Potter asked
about problems that have been
occurring at the Flights of Imagination playground. It has been
recommended that we put in a
new camera that will capture the
entire inside of the play area. An
approximate cost would be
$1,500 for both the camera and
installation. Teresa stated that
they are willing to take $500 from
the playground account to help
get things started. Attorney Cook
will work with us to draft an ordinance that will help us get things
rolling.

in poor shape. President Jordan

to be painted and tightened.

a grant for safety purposes
through the Kellogg or Community Foundation. Sara Healy will

back at the next meeting.

report was given. Potholes have

filled in. The water has stopped
pooling in that region and the
repairs have been made to the
road.

reation Plan. Motion carried. Bill
Putsky is working on a grant to
