I am a meteorologist and a former youth leader at church…I have a lot to say on both subjects…and then some
Youth Specialties has a web site that is meant to help parents of teenagers called Real World Parents. As a step parent of a couple of teens and a couple of young adults, I try to read up on these things. I also look into this, so that I can pass along information to other parents, since I am also a leader in our churches youth ministry. I think this article can be used by not only parents, youth leaders alike.
I called Huntington, and sure enough as the bottom of the letters said, if you are working with us, then ignore this letter. Well, that’s what they told me. So we are still working with them and trying to get the house sold.
Yesterday, Mary and I received three letters from Huntington bank saying that our house we have been trying to sell was being foreclosed on. Once we looked closely, it said that we could ignore it if we were working with the bank and on a plan. Well, we have been. However, I need to call later today and see what’s up. So, I’m not sure where we stand other than we have our budget and are working through the bills. Pray for us.
This was Karlie’s solo from “Every time I Feel the Spirit.” Did great!
I have two articles on the meet last night. First out of the TVC (Record-Eagle) since TVC St. Francis is in the LM Confernce. Also out of the Petoskey News-Review kind of our local paper for The Boyne area.
Boyne City and TVC St. Francis tied in the team competition, with Kaleb leading the way for the Boys from Boyne.
Harbor’s Drake Doherty won the giant slalom in 1 minute, 4.09 seconds, followed by Boyne’s Kaleb McNamara (1:04.14) and Mike Cortwright (1:05.08), and St. Francis’ Keaden Hornyak (1:06.03) and Stephen Siddall (1:06.47).
McNamara won the slalom (1:21.26), followed by Doherty (1:21.47), Cortwright (1:22.30), Hornyak (1:23.17) and Grayling’s Mike Olson (1:23.83).
So First in the Slalom and Second in GS. by only 0.05sec…wow!!
Mary and I are going to make an attempt at going to the State meet in Marquette on Monday. I have the day off. The only thing is that we would have to leave really early in the morning to make it to the slopes on time (can’t afford to get a hotel). If we do, we will get pix and video to post after.
Kaleb ran the Regional meet at Nub’s Nob north of Harbor Springs on Thursday. Brandon was able to go and told us that Kaleb hip checked on the first run of the GS (that is he started to fall but was able to bounce back up), so it was a slower time. However, his second run was almost a full second faster than any of the field so he finished 5th. He then had to flawless runs in the slalom, for first place. The entire Boyne City boys team is going to the State competition at Marquette in a little over a week.
Here are some quotes from Kaleb in the Petoskey News-Review:
Kaleb McNamara, who won the boys’ slalom in 1 minute, 8.30 seconds, said he was proud of Boyne’s performance.
“It feels awesome,” McNamara said. “We haven’t done this as a team in a while so it feels good.”
“We were all pretty nervous, but we were determined to win it as well,” McNamara said. “All our guys stood and we were consistent on both runs. We skied pretty decent.”
WooHoo!!! Way to go Kaleb!

Click the link above to read the article, but Kaleb won both the slalom and GS last Thursday at Nubs.
Thursday night Kaleb had another conference meet. It was at Nubs Nob north of Harbor Springs. Brandon was able to go, and said that Kaleb clipped a gate in the slalom so he did not finish. However, he finished first in GS. The whole story is here: Traverse City Record-Eagle – Article: Ski Roundup: Glads, Rams claim meet

It was a day race this week, so we didn’t get to go. Kaleb finished fourth in Slalom and 5th in GS. This time he was up against bigger schools from TC, Cadillac, and Manistee.
Way to go Kaleb!
From the Petoskey News-Review:
Kaleb McNamara paced the Boyne boys as he finished second in GS and third in slalom.
After all the controversy of his first run of the slalom, he still managed to place 3rd! Very cool!
