Santa coming to town Since flying sleighs are prohibited on Bridge Street, Santa Claus did the next best thing, arriving in town during the annual Christmas Parade on top of a Grand Ledge fire truck. Hundreds of parade watchers lined the streets on Friday, Dec. 3 for the annual parade, which ushers in the holiday season. Santa’s arrival is one of the highlights of the event.
EATON CO — Property tax rates, like almost everything else in real estate, vary with location, location, location. In Eaton County, the highest property tax rate is more than double the lowest. To a large extent, the differences reflect the level of government services, and many of the taxes were established by citizens voting to tax themselves. Opinions vary as to whether taxpayers get fair value for their taxes. “I think there are 8,000 opinions in the city, but most of the people I have worked with are pretty satisfied,” said Grand Ledge Mayor Kalmin Smith. “And people who are pretty well informed are aware of the extra services they receive, such as leaf pickup,” he said. “Many people are appreciative of that.

tax rate in the county, but taxes levied by other jurisdictions add to their tax bills. The highest property taxes in Eaton County is in the part of the City of Lansing which is within the Holt School District, based on the combination of the highest city taxes in the area and the highest school taxes in the county. The owner of a hypothetical house with a market value of $150,000 located there would pay more than $4,500 on a tax levy of more than 60 mills. The owner of a similarly valued house in Kalamo Township, west of Charlotte, and in the Maple Valley School District would pay approximately $2,000 on a combined tax levy of 27 mills, the lowest in Eaton County. A tax levy of one mill translates into one dollar of tax for each $1,000 of taxable value. Taxable value is normally set at one half of the market value of a property. See

Opera House endowment fund has goal for 2011 GRAND LEDGE - The Grand Ledge Opera House, a non-profit Opera corporation, serves as a House community center for social, cultural and update business activities for area residents. The Opera House Board of Directors have established an endowment fund to assist in the perpetual maintenance and operation of the facility, grounds and its Commons Area. The Board of Directors joined with the Capital Region Community Foundation in establishing the account for the Opera House. This account was opened in November 2009. The Opera House Board of Directors decided to join with the Capital Region Community Foundation for a number of reasons.
News in brief Ford dealers sites for gift donations
Santa’s elves are working in seven counties in December to collect gifts for less fortunate mid-Michigan children. Area residents can donate unwrapped toys, books and clothes to the Seventh Annual “Happy Holidays for Highfields Kids” campaign, in partnership with Greater Lansing Ford dealerships. Highfields is accepting toys, books and clothes for children ranging in age from infant to 18. Gifts can be dropped off through Dec. 18 at nine Ford dealers including Grand Ledge Ford, Candy Ford in Charlotte, Seymour Ford in Jackson, Courtesy Ford in Okemos, Signature Ford in Perry, Fowlerville Ford, Stillwell Ford in Hills-
The foundation provides to the Opera House fund management and investment services, financial reports, government filings, acknowledging and receipting of contributions, and stewardship and audit services. As a qualified foundation all donations are deductible as an itemized charitable deduction on the Federal Income Tax Return. In addition, contributions qualify as a 50 percent tax credit on the Michigan Individual Income Tax Return whether or not you itemize deductions on your Federal Return. The Michigan credit is limited to $100 per person. On a joint income tax return, the credit is limited to $200 per couple. The credit is a non-refundable credit. (Therefore, a $400 contribution made by a couple will create a $200 credit on the Michigan Income Tax Return, plus a $400 charitable deduction on the Federal Income Tax Return.) Contributions to the endowment fund are not spent. They are invested for growth. Only about 5 percent of the assets in the fund are provided to the Opera House Board of Directors, on an annual basis, to spend. Because the Opera House has only been involved
with the Foundation for a year, no funds have been made available to the Opera House Board yet. At this time, it is the intention of the Board to allow the fund to grow for future uses. The Board of Directors of the Opera House is asking for contributions to the endowment fund. The Board has established a goal of $10,000 in the fund by Feb. 1, 2011. Contributions may be made for the 2010 income tax year before year end, and for 2011 tax year in January 2011. All contributions will be acknowledged and appreciated. Contributions to the account may be made by cash or by checks payable to Capital Region Community Foundation . The funds may be sent to the Grand Ledge Opera House, 121 S.Bridge St., P.O. Box 264, Grand ledge, MI 48837 or to the Capital Region Community Foundation, 6035 Executive Dr., Suite 104, Lansing, MI 48911. Please mark all contributions for the Grand Ledge Opera House Endowment Fund. For further information or to request an application please call the office at (517) 627-1443.

Property taxes are levied by governments at all levels, for a variety of purposes. County government, townships, villages and cities use property tax proceeds as their main source of operating revenue. Local school districts and community colleges use them for operating revenues, and for capital improvements. Intermediate school districts pay for special education and vocational education services from voter-approved property tax levies. The state levies 6 mills to help support the school aid fund, used to make payments to local school districts. Special authorities, such as the Delta District Library and the Grand Ledge Area Emergency Services Authority have been authorized by voters to levy property tax levies. The City of Lansing has the highest municipal tax rate at 15.7 mills, but the highest general government taxes are levied in the Village of Vermontville, which charges 14.4 mills on top of the 3.6 mills levied by Vermontville Township. Residents of the small village in western Eaton County are spared from having the highest total taxes in the county only because their school taxes, for the Maple Valley Schools, are among the Alan Miller based on data from county Apportionment Report lowest.

Shopping Tour for kids this week
The Grand Ledge Shopping Tour, with a goal to provide new school clothing for the needy elementary children of the Grand Ledge School district, is now recognized as a Tax deductible charity by the IRS. The Shopping Tour this year will be held Dec. 15. The businesses, organizations, schools and generous citizens of the Grand Ledge area join together to make sure the needy children have a happy Christmas. The children are from kindergarten through fifth grades. Volunteer chaperones will take the children shopping with about $100 of donated money to buy school clothing at a few selected stores that give a 10 or 15 percent discount. They then return to St. Michael’s Fellowship Hall to meet Santa Claus for their own personal gift. Local businesses donate pizzas, tacos, hot dogs, cookies, subs and refreshments served by the American Legion & Grand Ledge Lionesses. Matt Bird & Grand Ledge football players and Dan Malkewitz & the weight training room help Santa with the
children and gifts. If you would like to make a monetary donation, please make your checks payable to the Grand Ledge Shopping Tour and drop it off or send it to Fifth Third Bank at 900 Charlevoix Dr., Grand Ledge. If you would like to donate a new, unwrapped toy, there will be many drop boxes around town including the Felpausch Food Center, Grand Ledge Shell Gas Station, A&W, Looking Glass Regional Fire Authority, Ledges Chiropractic and Sweet Linda’s Café. The following Grand Ledge Elementary Schools will also have drop boxes; Neff, Beagle, Delta Center, Willow Ridge, and Wacousta, also, the High School. The kids also need hats, gloves and mittens that can be dropped off in the toy boxes as well. The committee is all volunteers with 98 percent of the donations going to the kids. For more information, call Dave and Sueann Sands at 517-627-7974. Dave Sands President, Grand Ledge Shopping Tour Committee.

GRAND LEDGE — Whether someone knew Helen Holihan or not, if they spent time in Grand Ledge, they knew her accomplishments. Holihan, who died in her sleep Tuesday morning, Dec. 7, spent the past 50 of her 87 years in Grand Ledge, and leaves behind contributions large and small, obvious and subtle. “She was a grand lady,” said her close friend Marilyn Smith who described her passing as “a horrible loss to the community.” “I remember how much she loved Grand Ledge,” said her granddaughter Andrea Rease. “She had a lot of pride in her community and it really showed.” Rease, a nurse living in San Francisco, said she remembers packages arriving from her grandmother. “I could look forward to a box of cookies, individually wrapped and then packed in bubble wrap, arriving all unbroken, four times a year,” she said. Holihan cared strongly about beautification of the city. The more than 350 memorial trees which grace parks and streets throughout the
city, giving people opportunities to add beauty to the city’s streets while remembering loved ones, were Holihan’s project for 25 years. For years, visitors to Oakwood Cemetery have been greeted by a field of wave petunias, another of Holihan’s projects. “She was just an extraordinarily valuable asset to the community,” said Grand Ledge Mayor Kalmin Smith. “Her contributions are very substantial over a long time. She will be missed for sure.” The library had a special place in Holihan’s heart, said Library Director Suzanne Bowles. The paperback exchange at the Grand Ledge Library and the refurbished Emily Shipman room there were her projects. A strong supporter of the library, Holihan served as a board member for 18 years, and worked on the committee to expand its scope by converting it from a city library to a district library. “She had a sense of the value of books and information to the community,” said Bowles, who came to her position when Holihan was board President in 1982. “She represented the town well, and was someone you could work with easily,”
said Bowles. Holihan was a regular on the third Friday of each month when members of the Friends of the Library gathered to sort used books to sell to the public. A pillar of the Grand Ledge Historical Society, Holihan took responsibility for the past 23 years for coordinating and cataloging the society’s collections, said Marilyn Smith. Holihan helped to organize the society’s annual Victorian Days celebration, serving as hostess for the Victorian High Tea. She was a leader of the annual Michigan Week celebrations in Grand Ledge, continuing even after many communities had given up the practice. “We are diehards,” she said in an earlier interview. “We have been doing this for over 50 years, and we don’t want to give up on it.” Michigan Week is important, Holihan said then, because the city uses it as an opportunity “to recognize people in our community who go over and above the call of duty.” Holihan was recognized as an Athena Recipient in 2000. The recognition is for women who make an impact

Bear hunt almost unbearable Here is a tale if an early bear hunt in Oneida Township. We had two kinds of bears in the woods of Oneida, the large, long-legged, brown-nosed species, and the short-legged black one. The bear, like some bipeds, is a great lover of pork; this seemed to be all of the flesh kind he cared about, and of this he was quite tenacious. My mode was to take them in traps,-that is, when I could, though I did take quite a number in that way. There was one of these fellows, however, that knew too much for me. Having killed a hog for my neighbor Lewis, in his absence, I was sent for with orders from Mrs. Lew- Grand Ledge is to go and capture him. So taking my young remembered friend, Master George W. David Nichols, with me as an asHaueter sistant, I set the trap as usual. On the next morning we went for our bear. A light snow having fallen in the night, we encountered the well-known track on our way. Confident and elated with our expectations, our disappointment and chagrin were now the greater when we found the fellow had taken the trap off some twenty feet, and, as if to convince us of his superiority, turned it bottom side up, and left it there unsprung. Eating what he wanted of the bait, he had very graciously retired. We tried him again for three successive nights, but to no purpose. On the fifth night, having set two traps instead of one, we caught him good by the ball of one foot. Carrying the ponderous trap to a log some distance away, he then pounded it off, leaving within its jaws the
sinews of his leg, some eight inches long, and then made his escape. Unlike the wolf, when caught, the bear will fight to the very last breath. I have shot and trapped a large number of these animals, and have always found this to be an infallible trait. One morning, as I was proceeding in considerable haste to one of my bear-traps, I was accosted by two of my clergy neighbors as to the cause of my hurry. Answering that a bear was in my trap, they expressed a desire to go along and see the sport. After going about three miles we struck the trail. Letting my anxious dogs loose, I ran ahead of my reverend companions for the purpose of getting a shot. Giving the bear a shot in the best place for crippling him,-the region of the kidneys,-the fight began. The two elders coming up and seeing the power, endurance, and grit of the bear, even in his crippled condition, their desire seemed to evaporate, the dogs and myself having the honor of conducting the whole fight throughout. George Jones, Philander Parmenter, William Henry, Amadon Aldrich, and others of the early settlers occasionally indulged in the luxury of a bear-hunt, and this was especially the case on one occasion, when the four men mentioned followed a bear-which had unluckily got into a wolf-trap and carried it off-nearly to the site of the present city of Lansing, and after an exciting fight with the two dogs which they had along, his bearship was finally killed by a lucky shot from Mr. Jones’ rifle. The carcass-a large one-was cut up, and each carried a portion of it home, where they arrived about sunset.
Program takes aim at family violence
EATON CO. - A new Eaton County program administered by humanservices agency Highfields Inc. is designed to stop family violence and ensure that youth don’t continue the pattern when they grow up. Youth & Family Alternatives is a home-based and group treatment program for families with youth who have assaulted a family member. “Violence is a real concern in families that are struggling,” said Tim Monroe, Highfields’ clinical director. “The idea of the program is to break the cycle of violence and to teach families methods of conflict resolution that do not create more problems. Violence is a learned behavior that is passed on across generations.” It’s been Highfields’ experience in providing domestic violence intervention for 15 years ***** that in virtually all cases, adults arrested for these David S.

says. Under the Youth and Family Alternatives program, Highfields caseworkers hold in-home counseling sessions and treatment groups with youth and adults over the course of six months. The Family Division of the Eaton County Circuit Court refers families to the program after court workers determine violence is prevalent in the household. The $62,000, one-year contract for the program is funded through the county’s Juvenile Justice Millage. A similar program administered by Highfields in Ingham County has assisted about 50 families in recent years. Founded in 1962, Highfields Inc. is a not-forprofit organization providing home-based counseling, residential care, experiential education and support programs for families, youth and communities throughout mid-Michigan.

This past summer Nicholas Osborn, a freshman at Grand Ledge High School, attended Robotics Camp at Lake Superior State University (LSSU). He was one of only 16 gifted and talented young men grades 8-11 to experience engineering and technology subjects hands-on. Admission to the program is competitive and based on academic accomplishments, educational goals, extracurricular
achievements, a personal profile written by the student and recommendation of a teacher or counselor. During the one-week experience in the camp, the activity-based instruction included Robotics, Computer-Aided Design, Electronics, Satellite Based Global Positioning Systems, Computer Animation, Impromptu Engineering Design and Web Page Development. Students also completed a final project of their choice, which was based on one of the earlier sessions.

Stimulus “Last Chance” “Economic Stimulus” money for your own pocket… Act quickly, and you can receive a $1,500 gift from the government for the most comfortable and efficient heating & cooling system you’ve probably ever seen. I know. We hear all these “claims” about some superfantastic Government program that’s supposed to help normal, hard-working people living on “Main Street, USA.” But it always seems to end up in somebody else’s pocket, right? Well, not this time… if you act quickly. Among the billions of dollars the Government spread across our country in efforts to stimulate our economy, there’s something for your very own home and your very own pocket. It’s about your energy bills. Yes, I mean your energy bills for heating and cooling your home. Are you aware that in the Lansing area your heating and air conditioning system is responsible for an average of 43% of your monthly utility bill? Meanwhile, the cost of energy continues to skyrocket. What is the solution? Where does it end? Right here, right now, and here’s why: The government tripled the Federal tax credits through the end of 2010 to homeowners who are willing to help conserve energy.

pay. This is almost like the IRS marking through your tax bill with a red pen that says, “Courtesy discount of $1,500. Love, the U.S. Government.” Just incredible. What’s happened is, through the end of this year – in the government’s best offer ever – you can get a 30% tax credit of up to $1,500 for the purchase of highly efficient air conditioners, heat pumps or furnaces. So invest a moment now and call 517-627-4822 to schedule a time for your Free Home Energy Evaluation. We will provide you with all the details regarding system benefits, reduced cost of ownership, utility savings, the new tax credits and your projected return on investments. The call and Energy Evaluation are FREE, but the comfort and savings are yours! So call Aire Serv at 517-627-4822 today to schedule your free evaluation. We’ll tell you exactly how much of the new stimulus package you are eligible to receive. 620 N. Clinton St. Grand Ledge, MI 48837 517-627-4822 www.aireserv.com

Sports Icers play important games By SCOTT YOSHONIS

ANN ARBOR - The Grand Ledge-Waverly hockey team played two important games this week, one of them with immediate impact and the other with more lasting value. The Comet-Warriors created memories that will last a lifetime on Dec. 7, when they played to a 1-1 tie with New Boston Huron at Michigan Stadium. The outdoor game was played on the rink built for the University of Michigan to play Michigan State University in the Big Chill game on Dec. 11. Previously, GL-W took care of business closer to home, with a 5-2 victory over Holt on Dec. 4, which gave them a 3-0 record and sat them atop the CAAC league standings. Comet-Warrior head coach Brian Clifford said that he had little trouble keeping the team focused for the game in the 100,000-seat venue. “When we got there we walked around and stood in awe of the whole place,” Clifford said. “We took pictures before the game, and in warmups everybody was looking around, but once the game started they felt more at home.” Jack Klingbeil scored the only GL-W goal of the contest, assisted by Angelo Barnes and Drew Isaacson on the power play late in the third to tie the game. With other games scheduled for the rink, there was no overtime, but Clifford said that was just as well. “When you play a game like this, it’s a win-win for everybody,” he said. “I was proud of the kids, they battled hard. The ice was good, but

It’s different than playing inside.” Comet-Warrior goalie Austin Hull would agree. Hull, a lifelong fan of University of Michigan football, said that the conditions were actually more of a distraction than the venue.
“It was harder focusing on the game because as soon as the puck dropped, it started snowing pretty hard,” Hull said. “The wind in the first and third periods was coming toward my face, and I had snow blowing in my eyes. It was fun, though. It was great, I loved it. It’s
something that I’ll never forget.” The team will play two more outdoor games this season, on Feb. 18 and 19 at Clark Park in Detroit. In the meantime, however, the Comet-Warriors will play host in their own invitational tournament at the Summit on Friday, Jan. 17 and Saturday, Jan. 18.

Varsity boys cagers fall in Coach Lewis debut boards and they hit their free throws and that was the big difference,” added Lewis. In the end the Comets hit 12 of 22 free throws for just voer 50 per cent from the line. “If we’d have hit our free throws we probably would have gone on to win but we didn’t and they did. It’s as simple as that,” Lewis said. Grand Ledge did do some damage from outside the arch as they hit 7-three point baskets for the night. Senior center Jason Morrall scored 15 points including four-3s to lead the offense. Senior forward Jimmy Cotter also hit a three pointer and closed with 13 points. He was 2 of 3 from the line. Sophomore guard Zachary Artibee added 9 points including a three pointer and junior Jordan Loredo closed
with 6 points while also adding a three point basket. Senior forward Adam Gulick closed with 3 points while senior Dalton Ruest and junior Joe Little scored 2 points each. Grandville didn’t blow up the free throw line as they hit on 20 of 30 but they made them down the stretch and that was a big part in their comeback win. “They really crashed the boards on the offensive end and they had a lot of second chances. I take my hat off to Grandville. Their kids never quit and they did what they had to do,” Lewis stated. “But, I’m also proud of our kids and the way that they played. We had just five turnovers for the game but we needed better rebounding and better inside shooting. We’ll work on that and learn from that.”

For over three periods of play it looked as though first year varsity head basketball coach Scott Lewis and his 2010-11 Comets would get off on a winning note. In the end however, the host Grandville Bulldogs prevailed 58-49 last Tuesday evening. When asked about how he (Lewis) felt about his team’s performance he commented, “We expected to be 1-0 not 0-1.” Indeed the Comets looked as though they would win their opener as they took a 13-8 first period lead and held on for a 19-18 lead at the half. The two teams headed into the fourth period tied at 38-38. The Comets then pulled ahead by six points before the Bulldogs tied the game and went ahead for good late in the game. “They really crashed the

Grand Ledge Comets
GIRLS BASKETBALL CAAC Blue
w Coaches prediction: 1. East Lansing, 2. Okemos, 3.
Holt, 4. Grand Ledge, 5. Jackson, 6. Everett, 7. Eastern. w Top player: Deborah Hoekstra, East Lansing w League outlook: The Trojans remain heavy league favorites despite some heavy graduations but also after the transfer of Hoekstra from Eastern. Okemos is expected to contend for its first league title since 2002, and Holt looks like the most likely to push East Lansing. The Rams are seeking their first league title since 1996 and has won at least 15 games five straight seasons. Four league players have signed with Division I or II college programs so far. GRAND LEDGE w Last season: 8-13, fifth w Coach: David Jones, second season w Returning starters: Maddie Johnston (5-9 F) sr., Kasey Trierweiler (5-5 G) sr., Krysta Kramer (5-11 F) jr., Ashley Priest (6-0 F) jr. w Other contributor: Kelly Gwardzinski (5-4 G) sr. w Outlook: The Comets could push back into the upper division with an experienced nucleus blending with a solid freshman class. Johnston (signed with Division II Wisconsin-Parkside) is a returning all-leaguer and Trierweiler earned an honorable mention last season, and they are among the reasons for optimism for a team that improved three wins last season from the season before.
BOYS WRESTLING CAAC Blue Coaches’ prediction: 1. Holt, 2. Grand Ledge, 3. East Lansing, 4. Eastern, 5. Jackson, 6. Okemos, 7. Everett. League outlook: Holt looks tonce again be the team tbeat in the Blue, returning five league champions and five league runners up. Two-time defending state champion Freddie Rodriguez transferred tGrand Ledge and should give the Comets a solid contender in the 112/119-pound divisions. Top wrestler: Freddie Rodriguez, Grand Ledge GRAND LEDGE w Last season: second w Coach: Steve Delaney, fourth season w Returning starters: Bryan Jones (103) soph.; Kyle Winstanley (125) soph.; Walter Hartman (130) jr.; Curtiss Brownell (140) jr.; Dalton Kirchey (140) jr.; Maxx Riston (145) sr.; Korey Knapp (152) sr., Joey Kolwick (160) jr.; Geraldo Villarcal (171) sr.; Corey Arnouts (215/285) jr. w Other contributors: Freddie Rodriguez (112/119) jr.; Martin Rodriguez (103/112) fr.; Josh Vaillancourt (140/145) sr.; Brandon Root (160) sr.; Nick Verran (171) soph.; Trevor Gilmartin (285) jr.
w Outlook: Senior leadership from Knapp and Riston, along with league champion Villarcal and the addition of two-time state champion Freddie Rodriguez will have the Comets fighting for a spot atop the CAAC Blue.
BOYS ICE HOCKEY Capital Area Activites Conference Coaches prediction: 1. Lumen Christi, 2. DeWitt/St. Johns, 3. Grand Ledge/Waverly, 4. Okemos, 5. Holt, 6. Eastside, 7. Capital Area, 8. Jackson. Top player: Austin Hull, Grand Ledge/Waverly League outlook: Last year’s best are expected to be this winter’s contenders, with reigning champion Jackson Lumen Christi the favorite and reigning runner-up DeWitt/ St. Johns expected to give the biggest push. Grand Ledge/Waverly should bounce back from last year’s rare lower-division finish. The Comets/Warriors are off to a 4-0 start. GRAND LEDGE/WAVERLY w Last season: 14-10-4, sixth in CAAC w Coach: Brian Clifford, eighth season w Returning starters: Austin Hull (sr., goaltender), Treven Fech (sr., forward), Jack Klingbiel (sr., forward), Tyler Wise (sr., defenseman), Nick Patino (sr., forward), Adam-Juan Epstein (soph., defenseman), Brad Kurzynowsky (jr., forward). w Other contributors: Austin Barnes (sr., forward), Drew Isaacson (jr., defenseman), Vince Gessler (jr., forward). w Outlook: senior goaltender Austin Hull — a two-time Lansing State Journal Dream Team selection — should keep Grand Ledge/Waverly in every game. Senior forward Treven Fech leads an unproven offense that will need to develop for Grand Ledge/ Waverly to compete for a league title.
BOYS SWIMMING/DIVING CAAC Blue Coaches’ prediction: 1.Holt, 2. Okemos, 3. Grand Ledge, 4. Jackson, 5. East Lansing, 6. Everett Top swimmer: Eric Dawdy, Holt Top diver: Sam Larsen, Okemos Outlook: As close as last season’s CAAC Blue race was, this year’s could be even tighter. Holt, Okemos and Grand Ledge all lost some top talent from last year, but also have a lot of potential heading into this season. There will likely be a number of state qualifiers amongst those three schools. GRAND LEDGE w Last season: third w Coach: Ian Townsend, fifth season
w Top returnees: Eric Bayley, sr. (freestyle), David Smith, sr. (IM), Chris Cornell, sr. (breaststroke), Casey Haggerty, sr. (distance), Mike Mandley, sr. (IM), Greg DeWitt, soph. (freestyle), Zack August, jr. (sprint), Neil Wilkes, jr. (distance), Tyler Martin, jr. (butterfly, backstroke) w Other contributors: Xinghao Wang, fr. (breaststroke, IM), Andrew Bristol, sr. (breaststroke), Evan Ilieff, soph. (sprint) w Outlook: Despite loosing two of the areas top swimmers from last year, the Comets return a solid nucleus led by Bayley, Smith and Cornell. Townsend believes that his team strengths will be in the IM and distance events and that they should have the potential to contend for a league championship.
BOYS BASKETBALL CAAC Blue Coaches’ prediction: 1. Eastern, 2. Okemos, 3. East Lansing, 4. Jackson, 5. Holt, 6. Grand Ledge, 7. Everett. Top player: LaDontae Henton, Eastern League outlook: Eastern won its first league and district titles since 1991 last season and remains the heavy favorite to repeat in the Blue. But Okemos and East Lansing each bring back some big names and appear the biggest obstacles. Holt is perhaps the biggest wild card — the Rams are traditionally a contender but graduated one of the area’s top classes last spring. GRAND LEDGE w Last season: 13-9, fourth w Coach: Scott Lewis, first season w Returning starters: Jason Morrall (6-5 F) sr., Jimmie Cotter (6-5 F) sr., Dalton Reust (6-0 G) sr., Jordan Loredo (5-10 G) jr. w Other contributors: Nate McCrumb (5-10 G) sr., Zach Artibee (6-0 G) soph. w Outlook: Lewis, a former Comets standout, inherits all-league honorable mentions in Morrall, Cotter and Reust. Their experience and size should be strengths as the team transitions to the new coach’s style.

Lumen Christi, 3. Haslett/Williamston/Bath, 4. Mason, 5. East Lansing, 6. Holt, 7. Jackson, 8. St. Johns, 9.

riod led to a 20-5 half-time lead. Grandville also controlled the third period with a 20-8 scoring edge to take a comfortable 40-13 lead into the final period of play. Lindsay Orwat, Johnston and Kramer led the way with 5 points each while junior Erin Koren and Hannah Orwat each added 4. Trierweiler and sophomore Beth Boman scored 3 points each to close the scoring. Priest and Johnston each pulled down 7 rebounds. The Comets hurt themselves by committing 19 turnovers.

GRAND LEDGE - Like most other sports conditioning plays a major role in how well a team or individual will do. In wrestling the importance of conditioning is even more important. In the early stages of the season it looks as though conditioning has paid early dividends and has led to the Comets excellent start. On Dec. 2 the Comets played host to a four team quadrangular meet. In the end the Comets prevailed with a sound 57-13 win over
powerhouse Eaton Rapids. Later in the evening they came back to crush Perry 73-4. “It was a great start to the 2010-11 season,” head coach Steve Delaney stated. “We set the tone and wrestled extremely tough. I felt for our first meet of the year our shape was extremely good.” For the night eight Comet wrestlers won both matches including sophomore Bryan Jones at 103 pounds and freshman 112 pounder Martin Rodriguez. Junior Walter Hartman won both matches at 135
and at 140, junior Dalton Kirkey did the same. Senior Corey Knapp won both ends at 152 pounds, 160 pound senior Josh Vaillancourt, 171 pound sophomore Nick Verran and junior heavyweight Corey Arnouts all won both matches. The night was also highlighted by the fact that Grand Ledge did not allow a pin in either meet. “As a team we talked about being fighters and not giving up any pins,” Delaney added. With a host of young wrestlers Delaney’s kids also showed some veteran skills.
“We had two freshmen in the line-up, Billy Reed and Caleb Zakora who both wrestled upperclassmen and were a bit overamtched but both wrestled hard and fought the entire six minutes not giving up any bonus points. “I was very happy with their efforts,” Delaney added. Delaney was equally as satisfied with his team’s performance at Lansing Eastern on Dec. 4. Grand Ledge finished sixth out of the 16 team field. The Comets also placed nine wrestlers, the most in the past six years. “This is one of the tough-
est tournaments in the state for the entire season,” Delaney said. “I felt really good about placing nine wrestlers in the top eight places. Rodriguez placed third at 103 pounds. Jones took fourth at 103 pounds and junior Dalton Kirkey was sixth at 140 pounds. Knapp placed third and Vaillancourt sixth. 171 pound senior BrandonRoot placed eighth, senior Cody Kocsis sixth at 215 pounds and Arnouts fifth at heavyweight. One of the highlights of
the meet was at 103 pounds as freshman Martin Rodriguez was terriffic. “He wrestled returning state champion Mitch Rogaliner from Temperance Bedford in the semi-finals loosing in a hard fought battle 5-4 in double overtime,” Delaney praised.

Grand Ledge girl hits aviation milestone MASON — Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) Chapter 55 volunteer pilots provided free airplane rides to more than 235 local youngsters in 2010. The EAA Young Eagles Program was created to spark interest in aviation. In August of this year, Alyssa Doty, 14, of Grand Ledge, became the 2,500th Young Eagle flown by Chap-

Michigan CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates) held their annual conference Nov. 12-13, 2010 in Grand Rapids with over 150 staff, volunteers, and board members in attendance. Participants attended many workshops dealing with Indian Child Welfare Act, Conflict Resolution, Serving Youth in Foster Care, Childhood Trauma and many other issues that affect CASA and the children we serve. As part of the conference, a ceremony was held in which Judge of the Year was announced. This year’s winner was the Late Honorable Michael F. Skinner; who served as judge in Eaton County and was an enormous supporter of CASA For Kids. Judge Skinner really valued the CASA volunteer’s input during abuse/neglect proceedings in his courtroom and always took time to get to know the volunteers, many times joining them for lunch after swearing-in ceremonies. Judge Skinner was able to combine another passion of his to benefit CASA For Kids. He helped initiate CASA’s Annual Motorcycle Ride Fundraiser which has

Volunteers receive 30 hours of classroom training and upon completion are sworn in by the judge. They are then assigned to a case where they

Gift of warmth The third graders, in Mr. Sweet’s class at St. Michael Parish School recently donated blankets to the Ronald McDonald House of Mid-Michigan. They were able to purchase the blankets because of a bake sale held at their school earlier in the week. The bake sale raised a total of $108.79. After the blankets were purchased, the class donated the rest of the money to Ronald McDonald House of Mid-Michigan, for any items they may need throughout the holiday season. “This is a great lesson in generosity for my class, and a way to show that they can truly make a difference by helping others,” Sweet said.
