PRESIDENT’S COLUMN
The Beef-Cook out was on Saturday. What a
fine meal. The top rounds were in the smoker
for about 8 hours and very tender. Thanks to
Jim Aschraft and Tracey
Griggs for stepping up.
And to all the other folks
that made the party a
success thank you. No one
walked away hungry from
this dinner.
Then we have work bee
Sunday, finally took some
dead trees down by the lake. They had the Oak
Wilt disease. We lost about ten or eleven big
ones. Hopefully we can take the rest
down before Good Old Days. Most every one
was outside working on the grounds. It sure
looks nice with all the flowers blooming.
A special thanks to Bob Wyckoff and Kevin
Lash for fixing the well at the indoor range
building and the outdoor rest rooms. Parts were
the only cost to the club. If you see these guys
give them a big hand shake for their efforts.
Its member and son night at the meeting this
month with David Lee. Again he is going to
raffle off a fishing trip to a lucky son and
parent.
Good Old Days is upon us again. It is going to
take all of us to pull this off. We have gotten
quite a few donations from our purveyors this
year. Also we are going to have a full bar at
night under the tent with the band after 8 pm.
Come and have some fun. See you there.

Oppose HB 5121
Please contact your state legislator's to oppose HB 5121. This legislation would significantly hurt out ability to raise needed funds
necessary to support our organization. Considering the current financial climate in our state, we would stand to lose a viable source of
revenue. HB 5121 proposes a license fee increase to $250 per day from the current $50. This would result in an immediate loss of
$800 per four-day event for our club. Because the license fee is paid by our organization in advance of the event, this is a direct hit on
our club's financial resources. We can hold four of these "Texas Hold-Em" four day events per year. Bottom line, $3200 out of our
treasury and into the State's general fund. That is about the same as holding three events for the club and one for the State of
Michigan. This is not only a significant blow to our club but also an additional state tax on each member. Call, write, email your state
representative opposing HB 5121.
Respectively submitted, ~Gary Regentin # 76-830 Chairman
THANK YOU !!! THANK YOU !!! THANK YOU !!!
I’d like to take the opportunity to thank all those who helped make the BEEF COOK OUT possible. Without these individuals
the event would not have been as successful. I generally try to shy away from naming individuals as someone is usually dropped from
the list but I am willing to take the chance in order to give thanks where due. I apologize in advance for anyone left out. Your efforts
were greatly appreciated as well.
First, we should be ever grateful for Tracey Griggs’ amazing organizational skills and willingness to cover EVERY detail (and for
her cookies). She pretty much took care of EVERYTHING. Please give her a big thank you when you see her around the club.
In support of the event at different levels were: Jeff Telford, George Messner, Pete Cesaro, Jr., Eric Manning, Bill Lonsberry,
Moose, Doc Johnson, Glen Kruckenberg, Chris Peltier, Charlie Bonar, Al Vandenberg, Gary Chase, Russ Griggs, Phil Andres, club
manager Barry Anderson, Rich LaFave, Dave Fisher, Cal Kittinger, Keith Erdman, Brad Isaacson, Gordon Perry, Ed Rapin, nonmember Susan Graves and last but certainly not least our bar-maid Carmen. And to all those who offered their assistance, you too
deserve a thank you for stepping up and making yourselves available. And finally, all the folks who came out to brave the temperature
and enjoyed themselves. Thank you all for a great evening of fun and typical Multi-Lakes’ fellowship.
Best Regards ~ Jim Ashcraft Membership Secretary

Four Big Wheels
and a Little Mud
I’ve long believed, as Thomas
Jefferson believed, that all men are
created equal. But that was before I
went on a four-wheel trip with four of
our beloved past presidents. (No Mom,
not those Presidents!)
I’m sure that had Jefferson had the
opportunity to spend a few days in the
woods with Multi-Lakes presidents, the
Declaration of Independence would
have begun with the words All men are
not created equal.
We already know all men are not
equally endowed. So, while I still have
the right to free speech, let me share a
few thoughts and a few laughs.
For me it was heart warming to
spend a few days with some old
friends, even knowing that some of
their friendships run much deeper and
longer than mine. What we do have in
common is that our friendships began
at Multi-Lakes, that we all care about Multi-Lakes, and that we are all long-time members. There are many excellent reasons to
belong to Multi-Lakes, but one of the most important is the life-long friendships you make. Newer members: this is perhaps the
greatest benefit...priceless.
Past presidents, along with other club leaders, have stepped up to make the club a better place. At times ready to kill one another,
they have had intense disagreements, quit talking to each other, and said things they wish they had not. Sound familiar? Please take a
look at these past presidents. They know what is important.
Some very fine and dedicated members have been disillusioned recently, but quitting or backing up only hurts yourself and your
friends.
Dueling might work, but most of us are pretty good shots. Then again, so is the Grim Reaper. We’ve lost some great members to
the Eternal Footman again this year. We owe it to those members, and all the other dedicated members that have passed before them,
to keep the club viable. Let’s buck up and cut the crap.
Speaking of crap...
After stepping on numerous piles of poo, I asked (past president) Marty Johnson why the U.P had so many horses. Marty told me
that wasn’t horse dung that I was stepping on; it was mosquito droppings. In the U.P the state bird is the mosquito. I believe they are
closely related to Pterodactyls. In spite of the bugs, we all had a great trip...probably because most of the flaws in our character failed
to materialize until the last day.
Of the four presidents on this trip, guess which two had trailer wheels fall off? Which one needed stitches after shooting his
automatic pistol? Which one lost his four-wheeler somewhere on the highway? (“I can’t find my macheeeeeeeen!”) Which one
couldn’t find his cabin without assistance? And who ran from the law?
No, other than you and me we can’t all be perfect, but we all can, and should, try a little harder.
Enjoy Multi-Lakes… Make new friends and treasure your old friends before the Grim Reaper pays you a visit.

August: Mid-Summer Outdoor Work
By Marty Zaremba
August and most vacations have arrived. The work of watering, weeding, tying and staking should continue in our gardens.
Cutting of annual flowers and picking ripe vegetables should continue also. Spraying for insects and diseases should be done as
needed. Look for Japanese beetles that chew or lace the leaves of garden plants, flowerbed plants and ornamental trees.
Container plants need extra care in August. A little maintenance is probably needed about now. Cut back overgrown plants and
replace the ones than have seen better days. Check with your local nursery to see what is available to make a replacement. Container
plantings can benefit from some replacements this month.
Maintain a regular watering routine. When plants wilt, apply a measured inch of water. This amount will moisten the soil to about
6 inches deep. This is enough for annuals for about a week on heavy soils. This is about half a week on sandy soil. Try not to water
again until the soil has dried out.
Fertilize annuals with a liquid fertilizer according to the directions on the package. Container plants need regular fertilizing. Most
will need fertilizer by now. You can get more flowers from those hanging baskets, if you spray some kind of liquid fertilizer. I like
Rapid-Gro or Miracle-Gro.
Control insects with Carbaryl (Sevin) or Orthone. Chewing bugs can be controlled with BT (Bacillus Thuiringienis). Little holes
in leaves are nothing to worry about. You should worry about disappearing leaves and flowers. If you are going to spray for Japanese
beetles, I suggest you spray the chemical Sevin. When Sevin is used there is usually an increase of spider mites. This can be avoided
with the addition of an acaracide or miteacide to your spray mix. Flowers left to go to seed will take energy needed to produce more
blooms. So, pruning becomes a continuous but necessary job. Do a little every chance you get and it will not get ahead of you. If your
plants are getting a little leggy again, cut them back. If you can keep your flowers in shape through the heat of August, they will
reward you when the cooler weather returns this fall.
The harvesting of herbs and vegetables should start this month. Continue to pick broccoli, cucumbers & summer squash. Don’t let
them grow too long. Production slows if the squash are let get extra large. You should dig up the garlic when the leaves start to turn
yellow. If it is left in the ground too long, the paper covering will begin to rot. If it does not rain for a week to 10 days, apply 1 inch of
water. Water early in the day so that plants dry before dark. If possible, use soaker hoses to keep the foliage dry.
Check regularly for aphids, mites, white flies, leaf beetles and soil insects. If radishes, potatoes, or carrots have spots chewed into
them, maggots can be blamed. Some herbs are especially susceptible to mites. Both spider mites and the tiny cyclamen mites will
affect them. Parsley leaves that curl may have mites. Leaves of other plants with mites will have a dirty look to them, and close
examination will reveal webs and the mites themselves on the underside of the leaves.
As the temperatures moderate, the grass will resume growth. Mow as needed to keep the grass at the correct height. Established
grass should receive 1 inch of water when it begins to wilt. Fertilize at the end of August. If no lawn repairs were needed, use a weed
and feed product to eliminate broadleaf weeds. If you are plagued with Ground Ivy better known as (Creeping Charlie) and do not
have access to low yield nuclear weapons, use chemicals named Bonide or Dexol. They kick Creeping Charlie right in the pants. They
contain MCPA, TRICLOPYR and DICAMBA.
Skunks and raccoons digging up the lawn are a good indication that grubs are present. Roll back damaged grass to see the grubs.
Apply Sevin to control June grubs and adults. Animals feeding in the lawn are seeking insects. Some lawn damage is caused by
rabbits as they graze. They tend to clip the grass too short & make that area look bad. Squirrels dig holes to bury nuts and seeds. If you
put down some sod, make sure the seams are butted tight together. After watering, use a lawn roller to remove extra air and make sure
there is good contact with the wet soil. Keep the new sod watered.
It is possible that spraying for insects isn’t worth it. If there are so few that they do not harm anything, let the natural predators
handle them. Ladybird beetles (Ladybugs) and lacewings eat aphids, scales and mealy bugs. Assassin bugs and others feed on soft
bodied insects such as caterpillars. Many flies parasitize insect pests. Wasps and hornets catch insects to feed their young. Spraying
insects harms the natural predators too. Use the least harmful material if you must spray. Sometimes it is just as easy to snip off a
single shoot that is covered with aphids, or to pick off the caterpillar or Japanese beetle as it is to mix and apply a pesticide. Wear
gloves to mix chemicals. Wear goggles and a respirator when spraying.
August can be very dry. If it is dry, water the shrubs every couple of weeks. Soak them until the water begins to run off. Watch
newly planted shrubs. They have small root systems that are struggling to get started. Water them when they need it, but do not drown
them.
Trees generally are able to survive on their own in nature. When they are planted out of their natural habitat, they become
dependent on us to care for them. Premature fall color in trees is often a sign of trouble. The tree may be overly dry or may have other
problems. Often it is a sign of root damage or girdling. If one of your trees is already turning color, examine the root collar at the base
of the tree to make sure it is sound. Girdling roots are often the cause of trouble. Remove girdling roots. If they are major roots, there
may be some loss in the top of the tree. The other choice is to lose the entire tree from girdling. Some parts of our state have an
alkaline soil. Pin oaks and maples can have problems this time of year. In our area Pin oaks turn yellow. This can be corrected by the
use of iron chelates. Maples will start to yellow because lack of manganese. Iron chelates and manganese can be given to trees by
drilling a small hole in the trunk and inserting a plastic plug (Meta Cap) containing the mineral that the trees can not get from the soil.
The minerals can be sprinkled on the lawn under the tree and watered in. They can be put in the soil under the tree, by means of
drilling holes 3 feet apart and aproximatly 20 to 30 inches deep. This circle should start at the drip line. The fertilizer spikes that are
popular, won’t get the job done. They are easy to install, but think about it, they only go down 6 to 10 inches. When rain is scarce, you
will have trouble because the spikes will draw the roots to the surface. You should have the fertilizer down at least 20 inches. This
will encourage deep root growth where there is a better supply of water in August.
See You When The Wind Shifts! ~ Marty Zaremba

SOMETHING DIFFERENT
On a recent trip to South Florida with my wife, Lisa, I was able to experience something most sportsmen never knew existed,
including myself! One evening at the local watering hole, we met one of the area’s spear fishermen, named Paul. Being a sportsman, I
was very intrigued with his profession. Paul told me stories of free diving 70 to 90 feet to pursue the various kinds of grouper and
snapper the market preferred. I had to decline Paul’s offer to go with him on the next day’s expedition. I think it was the stories of the
10- foot bull sharks that made my decision easy, not to mention that, being from Michigan, I couldn’t hold my breath for more than a
minute let alone three.
After getting to know Paul, I inquired about the hunting opportunities in the area. I found out that discharging any firearm in the
Keys is illegal and just about all species are protected there. He did mention that iguanas were fair game and could be hunted with a
pellet rifle, which is not considered a firearm on private property. This really caught my attention.
There are three types of iguanas in the Florida Keys and are all extremely invasive. The green, Mexican spiny-tailed, and black
spiny-tailed iguanas are all prevalent throughout the area. The combinations of released pets and animals blown over by hurricanes have
over-populated the islands with these unwanted pests. South Florida’s
sub-tropic climate allows these herbivores to flourish and have grown in
numbers to the tens of thousands. Adult iguanas are powerful animals
that can bite, inflict serious gashes with their sharp claws, and have a tail
that can open a wound like a razor. Worst of all, they carry the
salmonella bacteria which is spread through their droppings, contributing
to the deaths of several infants as well as adults.
Along with the threats mentioned above, the iguanas are destructive
to property as well. They undermine foundations and sidewalks and
burrow along seawalls causing them to collapse. These feral pests end up
costing islanders hundreds of thousands of dollars in damage annually.
The invasive species are now competing with the protected and
endangered Key deer, depleting the food reserves the tiny whitetails
depend on and devastating the local fauna which make up the fragile
ecosystem for which the islands are known.
After finding out the facts, I knew I had to do my part to save the Key
deer. Paul lent me his Gamo pellet rifle, introduced me to the owner of a local plant nursery who was more than willing to let me help
with lizard eradication, and the hunt was on.
I spent the last two days of my vacation wading through the mangrove swamps looking for a lizard of “trophy size.” The wildlife I
saw would have never been seen from the road. Turtles, crabs, fish, birds and BIG BUGS were everywhere. A real island experience!
The green iguana is the largest of the reptiles. The “greens” can grow up to six feet in length, reaching weights of forty pounds or
more. Through trial and error, I found this dinosaur-like lizard has an acute sense of smell. Early in the hunt, I could hear them jumping
out of the trees into the water 80-100 yards ahead of me. I realized that using the wind is a determining factor while hunting the mature
animals. Their eyes can rotate 180 degrees, with vision unmatched by humans. Chances are they will see you well before you see them.
I found that the best tactic was to locate where they feed or sun themselves and wait them out.
The reptiles proved to be honorable adversaries. They blend in with their environment better than any whitetail, disappear quicker
than I could find the safety, and their hide can deflect a .177 pellet moving at 1200 fps. Not as easy as one might think!
~ Dave Lee Bass Pro Hunting Staff
These six guys (some are club members and some are not) stepped
up when asked to participate in this fund raiser. It all stared when I
heard about this freshman wrestler who was having a difficult time in
life when it should have been the best time of his life. I was at the
District Wrestling Tournament for Class-A when I heard that he was
unable to go to wrestling camp because his money was stolen. His
family is not very well off. When I heard that some parents were
going to raise some money to send him, I told my sister that I had a
plan: just sit back and give me a week to come up with something.
Well if you know me, I just can't sit back. On my way home all I had
to do is make two calls, one to Dave Mercier and one Mark Geiger.
When I told them what I wanted to do they said they were in with no
hesitation. John Delaney, Joe Carney and myself donated our boats
and gas to take these six generous guys walleye fishing on Lake
Erie. Over $600 dollars was raised with very little effort. We caught
some fish, but the weather was against us that day. That didn't stop
these guys from having fun. All they could say was it a great cause don't worry about anything. It just goes to show what can happen
when people that care come together, only good things happen. I
would like to thank Dave Mercier, Mark Geiger, Kerry Atwell, Steve Atwell, Mike Bowers, Alan Godwin and a special thanks
to my sister Janet Hyde for taking care of all of the loose ends. By the way, he made it all the way to State Tournament
held at the Palace of Auburn Hills. A great job by the freshman wrestler. Thanks a lot you guys and Sis. ~ Andy Willetts
