Saving high school history By CHRISTIE BLECK cbleck@lsj.com

DANSVILLE — It’s not making money that’s driving Kelen Gailey to searching for and reproducing vintage Dansville High School yearbooks. It’s the preservation of history. Gailey, 21, of Bunker Hill Township, a Dansville graduate now majoring in special education at Olivet College, is undertaking a project in which he’s collecting old yearbooks and reproducing them for anyone who wants them. Gailey recently acquired a 1925 Triumphans, a publication of the former Ingham Township High School, on eBay. (That school later became Dansville High School.) But Gailey doesn’t want to stop there. He wants to put together a complete set of yearbooks that he’d reproduce upon request. Gailey pointed to the old photographs of the students in the 1925 Triumphans. “These are all somebody’s parents,” he said. Gailey already has a sense of history as his family roots are in the area. His dad’s family has been in the region for 140 years, and his mom’s family has been around for at least that long. “That’s what started me doing it — the family history,”

“That’s what started me doing it — the family history.” – Kelen Gailey Gailey said. The project, according to Gailey, also will help the local high school ﬁll in the gaps when it comes to tangible proof of its history. The 1925 Triumphans unique facts about its students, such as things they have “willed” to each other. And as with modern yearbooks, their class activities are listed. People also can ﬁnd out about notable folks such as Searl Briggs, former Dansville superintendent, principal, teacher and coach, Gailey said. Plus, many families still are in the area, Gailey pointed out. “To make a reproduction is more for people to look, not to make money,” Gailey said. “It’s to preserve history.” Gailey said he will customize each yearbook with special notations and recognize donors if needed. Gailey noted it costs him

Residents pass city parks vote By CHRISTIE BLECK cbleck@lsj.com

Kelen Gailey is working on a Dansville yearbookreproduction project. $20 to reproduce a yearbook. However, along with passing along history, he gets glimpses into the local past, such as pictures of sports teams and their oldfashioned uniforms, which allow him to see how things have changed. He also learned about the girls basketball team, which according to the ‘25 yearbook went 13-3 and

for the third time won the Agricultural School League Championship. All this came at a time when there were few girls high school sports. Gailey said it costs him $20 to reproduce a yearbook. For information on his project, contact him at (517) 589-8473 or at kelenklgailey@hotmail.com.

MASON — City officials wanted the public’s opinion on more tax for parks, and now they have it. Residents on Nov. 2 cast their ballots for an advisory vote on the issue, with 1,822 people coming out in favor of an increased millage and 937 against. However, it was an advisory vote only, and it will be up to the City Council to determine the final budget. Voters were asked if they favor the City Council, as part of its annual budget process that begins in April 2011, increase the general operating millage by up to 0.5 mills for the next fiscal year, which starts July 1. The increase would add revenue for the entire city parks system and would raise up to an estimated $106,000 in Fiscal year 2011-12. A household with an average taxable income of $57,000 would pay an additional tax of up to $28.50 per year. Earlier this year, the city entered into an agreement with Ingham County in which the city will be $1 per year through Dec. 31, 2016 to lease Rayner Park, a popular park formerly maintained by the

budget-strapped county. After meeting agreement terms, the city has the rights to buy the park for $1. It’s been estimated it costs $44,000 annually to maintain Rayner, located at 730 Ash St. The city amaintains other parks, including Hayes and Laylin. Mayor Pro Tem Robin Naeyaert stressed the vote is not the ﬁnal word on the matter. “We want to make sure that people understand it is an advisory vote, meaning, it’s a message to council to take action,” Naeyaert said. With such a strong vote of support for the council increasing the millage, it now comes down to the council making the vote, she said. “It’s difﬁcult to vote for any millage increase,” Naeyaert said, “but this message was sent by the people loud and clear.” Naeyaert also noted she wants to see any increase go directly to a restricted fund for parks. “Whether that can happen is yet to be seen,” she said. Councilman-elect Jon Droscha said he voted in favor of an increased millage. “I believe it now gives council support for raising the money needed to maintain the parks.”

Santa mailbox, tree lighting part of annual celebration MASON — Every year about this time, Mason gets the “Big Santa” and mailbox up at the corner of Jefferson and Ash streets. The city crews put downtown holiday decorations on streetlights. Area merchants start to offer holiday values. The Mason Fire Department strings lights on the large Christmas tree on the Ingham County Courthouse lawn. Those are the signs that Mason is getting ready for the day after Thanksgiving on Friday, Nov. 26. That afternoon and evening, the community holds its annual Mason Holidays Celebration. For the eighth year, Dart Container Corporation is the presenting sponsor of the Mason Holidays Celebration. “We are proud to have Dart Container sponsor the 10th Annual Lighted Parade and the day’s events. We also thank the folks at Lear Corporation for again allowing us to start the parade in their parking lot,” said Aleasha Wood of Inspired Events, chair of the celebration for the Mason Area Chamber of Commerce. Wood also encourages local folks to help with the events by volunteering. Contact the chamber at (517) 676-1046 or by e-mail at masonchamber@masonchamber.org. Mason’s popular evening Lighted Parade and the lighting of the community’s Christmas tree at 6:30 p.m. are the biggest of the several events slated. American Legion Browne/Cavender Post 148 and LAFCU provide sponsorship for the tree-lighting ceremony. Last year, the Lighted Parade featured 25 units, including a special ﬂoat from Dart Container.

“The city of Mason is also an important partner. They help by closing streets and providing trafﬁc coordination. We are again responding to their requirement for improved public safety this year by letting parade participants know that they are not to throw candy or get on or off any unit that is in motion,” Wood said. The Lighted Parade steps off through the Mason Antiques District at 6:30 p.m. and proceeds to downtown Mason. The route is Mason Street to Columbia to State to Maple. The parade then circles Courthouse Square by turning right on Jefferson, then left on Ash, Barnes and Maple streets before ending in the 100 block of West Maple. Lighted units will represent area groups and businesses and will include Dart Container Corporation, ServiceMaster Absolute, Two Men & A Truck, Dart Bank, Mason Dental Group and many more lighted vehicles and ﬂoats. Commander Bob Raab will lead volunteers and members of the American Legion Browne/Cavender Post 148 in keeping the parade organized.

Fansons to light tree

Harvey and Carol Fanson, in their roles as the Mason Area’s 2010 Citizens of the Year, will ofﬁcially give the order to light the Christmas tree at Courthouse Square at 6:30 p.m. This year, the tree will again have 1,200 energyefﬁcient LED lights, thanks to the purchase of those lights three years ago by the city of Mason, the Mason Downtown Development Authority and American Legion Post 148 as a chamber decorations sponsor — and maintenance by the Mason Fire Department.

Mason police report Charge sought Oct. 26: Officers responded to a Mason school on a report of a student being disorderly and refusing to leave. This student had also caused problems earlier in the year. The complainant stated the student just had left with his mother, but prior to that he had been in a shoving match with other students and had been walking through the school, yelling and swearing. When officials tried to calm him down he was verbally abusive to them, and he disrupted the school before leaving. A charge of disorderly conduct is being sought at the Ingham County Prosecutor’s Office. Abodes violate code Oct. 27: The code enforcement officer opened three nuisance code violation investigations — one for junk and brush piles on West Columbia Street, a brush pile on West Sycamore Street and a junk vehicle on South Lansing Street. The owners will be requested to abate these nuisances before any further action is initiated. Officers help family Oct. 27: A call came into the department from the family member of a heroin addict who thought the man was exhibiting suicidal behavior. The family member asked for a certain officer by name to assist with the man because he was the only officer the man trusted. The officer responded to the home — assisted by an-

other officer — to counsel the man, who denied any drug use or thoughts of suicide but gladly agreed to be taken to an appropriate facility for counseling and evaluation. However, before being transported in the patrol car, the man was checked for weapons, and a hypodermic needle was found, which was confiscated. Multiple reasons were given for his having the needle, none of which justified its return, and it was seized to be destroyed according to department biohazard protocols. Dispute settled Oct. 27: Officers were dispatched to a family dispute, which involved name calling and threats. When the officers arrived, they found one of the participants had left and everything was now at peace. The matter is closed. Dual road rage Oct. 28: An officer responded to Walnut Street to take a complaint of a road rage incident. The complainant stated a vehicle had been tailgating him while he drove down northbound Peachtree, and the other driver had made threats to him after passing his vehicle. When the officer spoke to the other driver and his passenger, the man admitted to having had a confrontation with the complainant, but claimed it was only after the complainant had “flipped him off.” The officer had a constructive conversation with him about his driving habits Continued on next page

Between Oct. 26 and Nov. 1, Mason police investigated 56 reported incidents involving a variety of activities. These are some of those incidents worth noting and intended to keep citizens informed of police activities. Duo earns ride home Oct. 26: Officers stopped two males walking along Kipp Road at 3 a.m. after their attention was drawn by the bottle of vodka that was being carried. Investigation discovered the vodka, some clothing still in the packaging, two cell phones and an Xbox controller found in the duo’s possession had all just been obtained at a nearby store without having been paid for. One suspect also had a baggie of marijuana in his possession. The officers seized the items and confirmed with the store security each was stolen. The marijuana was also seized as evidence, and the pair was given a ride home and released so as not to be left out wandering around any longer. The report will be sent to the Mason city attorney for review of charges and issuance of warrants. Welfare check made Oct. 26: Officers responded to check the welfare of a Mason resident after it was reported the front door of the residence was ajar and the keys were left in the door lock. Officers arrived and found no one home and nothing out of the ordinary other than the open door. As they were about to secure the premises, the resident came home. The matter is closed. Ex-employee suspected Oct. 26: An officer responded to a late embezzlement report at a Mason business. The complainant stated that a former employee was suspected of stealing equipment and a large amount of cash. The case is under investigation. No violation found Oct. 26: Officers were sent to a family trouble complaint at a Mason home for a mother/son dispute. When the officers arrived, the son was not present but mother wanted to inform officers he was violating an active PPO filed by his estranged wife who resides in another community. She alleged her son has been going to and staying at the estranged wife’s home. Officers confirmed the PPO exists but has not been served — meaning no violation has occurred. The police department of jurisdiction was notified of the matter and it was left to them to determine what course of action to take. Missing man returns Oct. 26: An officer was requested to respond to an outcounty residential facility for a resident suffering from dementia who had walked away. Dispatch reported that all out-county units were involved with a burglary in progress, and the missing person report needed immediate attention. While the officer was searching, facility staff called to report the missing man had returned.

and temper, then returned to the complainant and had the same conversation, explaining that in these cases both parties often are to blame. Advice given Oct. 29: While patrolling, an officer was stopped by family members of a Mason man about whose welfare they were concerned. The man’s mother reported the man has relapsed into his drug addiction and had taken some personal items from his and his significant other’s homes to trade for heroin in Lansing. The officer notified Lansing police and put out a bulletin to check the man’s welfare if any officers happened across him. The family was also provided resource information on how to petition the court to have the man placed into treatment for his addiction. Abatements sought Oct. 29: The code enforcement officer initiated a multiple brush pile, junk and blight investigation at a residential property on East Cherry Street, and an investigation into an abandoned junk trailer on South Jefferson Street. Nuisance abatements will be sought before enforcement action is taken. Driver cited Oct. 29: During dark-time hours, a patrolling officer found an occupied car, parked and running, in a business’s parking lot near State and Sycamore streets. The business was closed. As the officer approached, he saw the driver making furtive movements inside the car. The driver then opened the door and started to get out. At that time the officer

noted an overpowering aroma of burnt marijuana. Although the driver denied having or recently using marijuana, the subsequent investigation found a pipe with marijuana, eye drops and a baggie with marijuana leaf and burnt marijuana roaches. The driver was cited for possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia and released to walk to a nearby friend’s house. Tests confirm obvious Oct. 30: An officer saw two young men walking near Jefferson and Lansing streets that appeared to be out past curfew. When the officer approached the pair to talk, he quickly found they were 18 years old but reeked of alcohol. Breath-alcohol level tests confirmed the obvious: a .12-percent for one man, and a 1.09 percent for the other. Both were capable of walking and were alert enough to be released — each with a violation for minor in possession of alcohol by consumption — to head for a

To exacerbate the matter; the car’s title was in the glove compartment. Further investigation is being conducted. Neighbor alert Nov. 1: A witness called to report seeing a youth crawling into a Mason home’s window. Investigation found the youth was entering his own home after forgetting his house key and ﬁnding himself locked out. Harassing call saved Nov. 1: A Mason resident came into the police department to report repeated violations of a no-contact personal protection order he held against a Lewiston resident who is currently on parole. The victim had the last harassing phone call — made on Halloween — logged into his cell phone’s call history and explained

the suspect had been arrested for violating the PPO before. The suspect’s parole ofﬁcer has been identiﬁed, and a copy of the report will be forwarded for a possible parole violation. It has also been discovered there are multiple warrants outstanding in the area the suspect resides. The PPO was issued in Ingham County and the suspect had been served. A second copy of the report will be sent to the presiding Circuit Court judge for review of charges. Reminder: Parking is prohibited on all city streets between 2 and 6 a.m. from Nov. 1-May 1.

Two re-elected to Mason City Council By CHRISTIE BLECK cbleck@lsj.com

MASON — Two city councilmembers retained their seats in the Nov. 2 election while another did not. Mayor Pro Tem Robin Naeyaert was reelected with 1,415 votes (24 percent), as was Neal Johnson with 1,174 votes (20 percent). However, challenger and newcomer Jon Droscha garnered 1,363 (23 percent) while incumbent Leslie Bruno, Jr., had 1,070 votes (18 percent). Another newcomer, David Barnett, had 940 votes (16 percent). Three four-year seats were contested. Bruno, who had served on the council in

the 1970s and two more recent terms, said he wasn’t disappointed with the results. “I’m not going to lose sleep over it,” Bruno said. Naeyaert said, “I’m always humbled at this time, but am pleased to have received the support of the citizens of the city of Mason. I look forward to keeping the city of Mason a great place to live and raise a family.” Neal Johnson said, “I’m glad the people of Mason want me to serve for them another four years.” The election of Droscha might have been a surprise to some as he had decided that due to time and budget restraints not to actively campaign. It at least was a surprise to Droscha.

“Fortunately, I have sorted out my possible conﬂicts with serving on Mason City Council and will happily serve my term. I am completely humbled by the conﬁdence my community has placed in me.” Although Droscha said he wanted Mason to know that he will be a listener, he acknowledged that he doesn’t pretend to have solutions for every problem facing the city. However, Droscha said he believes that solutions are found by using the “vast knowledge pool that is in Mason.” Droscha said, “There are a lot of smart people here and I intend to use them as a resource for making wise decisions while sitting on City Council.” AMENDMENT VOTE PASSES: Residents also voted 1,397-1,190 for an amend-

ment to increase the level where formal sealed bids are required for city purchases and sales from $7,500 to $10,000.

Other unofﬁcial election results include:

• 67th State House of Representatives: Barb Byrum, 17,814 (53 percent), Jeff Oesterle 15,960 (47 percent) • 30th Circuit Court: Clinton Canady, 40,492 (56 percent), Billie Jo O’Berry, 31,448 (44 percent) • Ingham County Commission, District 14: Steve Dougan, 4,702 (61 percent), Liz Kranz, 2,933 (39 percent) • Vevay Township clerk: JoAnne Kean, 838 (53 percent), Candie Oesterle, 725 (47 percent)

Animal shelter seeks donations of dog houses outdoors despite the cold weather. “The bitter cold and numbing wetness of a Michigan winter can create life-threatening conditions for those animals kept outdoors, especially when the animal is without the proper shelter or body condition. Hypothermia rapidly sets in,” Richburg said. “These dog houses along with the donated straw for bedding are saving lives.” Freezing temperatures can quickly take a toll on any dog without proper shelter. These dog houses prevent animal suffering, Richburg said. The Ingham County Animal Control Department is asking the public to be aware of animals in their neighborhoods and their own pets when temperatures drop. Officials are urging residents to report outdoor pets who

do not have proper shelter and protection from the elements. The state of Michigan requires outdoor dogs to have proper shelter. According to Richburg, “This means a shelter that will protect them from the snow and the hot sun as well. A board leaning against a tree or an open carport is not sufficient shelter in winter. The shelter should be adequate enough to retain the dogs’ body heat.” To donate a dog house to the shelter, call (517) 676-8372, drop it off at the shelter located at 600 Curtis St. or visit www.ingham.org/ac/home.htm. All donations are tax-deductible. — From Ingham County Animal Control

EDAR A NTIQU C D E E R

MASON — The Ingham County Animal Shelter is seeking donations of dog houses for dogs that are kept outdoors throughout the county. “Ideally we’re looking for the type of dog houses that are portable and easy to lift and transport,” Project Coordinator Jesse Richburg said. “The shelter staff will be distributing the houses to pet owners who do not have the means to obtain a house for their outdoor dogs.” Each year the department puts out a plea for more houses as each year the demand is greater then what is available. “This fall we have already given away over a dozen dog houses to pet owners, who needed them,” Richburg said. “We’ve exhausted our supply of dog houses and we’re about to come into our most crucial time of year as the need for houses and straw only increases.” Ideally the shelter prefers dogs to be kept indoors during the cold weather but realizes this is not practical for many dog owners who continue to maintain dogs

Allegiance Vascular Health

Ingham County Community News

Aurelius Library

Three years ago, Michigan Center resident Ken Hill read a newspaper ad about a free Allegiance Health vascular screening. Though he didn’t have any symptoms or suspect any problems with his health, Ken decided to go. It was a fortunate decision, because the screening alerted Ken to a small but potentially fatal aneurysm (weakening) in his aorta—the largest artery carrying blood from the heart to the rest of his body. When discovered, Ken’s aneurysm wasn’t large enough to need surgery, but it did require close monitoring. When Ken’s aneurysm reached a size that required surgical repair, he chose to have it done at Allegiance Health “because I’d had positive encounters there in the past, and I felt confident in my surgeons. I am very glad I went for that screening.” To learn more about vascular health or to sign up for a free vascular screening, visit AllegianceHealth.org/vascular.

Police-protection proposals turned down By KEN PALMER kpalmer@lsj.com

WILLIAMSTOWN TWP. — On the morning of Nov. 3, supervisors from many of the county’s rural townships met at the Williamstown Township Hall for a prearranged talk about police protection. The ofﬁcials had planned to discuss forming their own police board to cover areas once patrolled by the Ingham County Sheriff’s Ofﬁce. As it turned out, there wasn’t much for them to discuss. The day before, voters in all but one of the 13 townships had rejected ballot proposals to pay for police protection. The only township to approve the proposal was Williamstown. “Where do we go from here?” Leslie Township Supervisor Dallas Henney asked. “Quite frankly, there’s nothing the townships are going to do. The message was pretty clear that the electorate isn’t interested in supporting the proposals put before them.” Voters in the 13 townships were asked if they wanted to pay assessments or millages to fund police services.

All of those communities have relied on the road patrol division of the Ingham County Sheriff’s Ofﬁce, which has been eliminated by the county Board of Commissioners, effective Jan. 1.

Not even close

In most townships, the proposals lost by wide margins. In Leslie, Locke, Onondaga, Stockbridge and White Oak, the proposals lost by more than 63 percent of the vote. Voters simply aren’t willing to pay for a service they believe the county should provide, Henney said. “The most common thing I heard from people is that they feel they pay enough taxes and already pay for these services,” he said. “And they are very upset that those services are being taken away.” Leroy Township resident Mark Miller, who voted against the ballot proposal, said he already pays for police protection. “You keep paying more and more and more,” he said. “Where does it stop?” Miller said he believes the out-county area will get more police protection than voters were led to believe. The ballot question in Williamstown

Township passed by a margin of nearly 55 percent to 45 percent. Homeowners will be assessed up to $150 a year and businesses up to $250 a year. Supervisor Mickey Martin said the assessment would raise about $305,000 for police protection if the entire amount is levied. The Township Board could choose to contract with the sheriff’s department or another agency — such as Meridian Township or the city of Williamston — to patrol the township, she said. “It’s now in the board’s hands,” she said. “We’ll get a committee together, draw up some (bid requests) and send them out. We’ll have to move quickly.”’ The Township Board is scheduled to hold a public hearing on the special assessment on Nov. 16. After voting last week, Williamstown Township resident Valerie Fox said she supported the ballot question, “even though we’re struggling a little.” So did fellow voter Barb Donahue. “I think it’s important that we have (police protection),” Donahue said. The ballot proposals fared the best in

Williamstown and Alaiedon townships, two of the more populous townships, which receive more police services, Henney said. The ballot proposal in Alaiedon failed by about two dozen votes, according to unofficial election returns. In Williamstown, a group of volunteers helped spread information about the ballot proposal and put up yard signs. The rural township supervisors had hoped to form a police board that would collect up to $2 million a year — enough to pay for up to 18 officers. The supervisors had agreed to meet on the morning after the election to get the process moving, depending on the election results. Many of the supervisors showed up, despite the outcome, Martin said. “Our whole premise from day one was to provide an option to the public for police service,” Henney said. “We did provide that, and we’re just going to have to live with what we’ve got for right now.” All of the communities benefited from the process, Henney and Martin said. “We’re still going to meet and work together on other issues,” Martin said.

MASON — The future of the contentious issue of the city creating a rental-regulation program is unclear. The City Council discussed the matter at its regular Nov. 3 meeting. That meeting followed a heated debate at an Oct. 20 public forum between city ofﬁcials and landlords. Talked about was the possibility of an inspection program of rental units’ interiors as well as fees to

support the program. That didn’t sit well with many landlords. The council was given a list of concerns raised at the forum, which included: • The program will regulate the masses to resolve a small number of problem properties. • Fees for registration, inspections, repairs, etc. will be excessive and burdensome. • Rental and owneroccupied units should be treated the same. • Landlords can police

themselves, perhaps through a landlord association. • Landlords learned that the city has no ordinance to regulate interior maintenance and ﬁre-safety conditions. • A ﬁre code is a possible alternative to a rental registration program. Mayor Pro Tem Robin Naeyaert said she didn’t believe it was necessary to “punish the whole” because of a few landlords not maintaining their properties.

Instead, Naeyaert advocated enforcing current codes. “I think we just let it lie for a while,” she said, “and if we need to come back to it, to do so.” Mayor Leon Clark cautioned against adding another government layer. “I just have a lot of concerns about where this is going,” Clark said. City Administrator Marty Colburn outlined possible scenarios, which include keeping the status quo; adopting the Inter-

national Property Maintenance Code (IPMC), which would not create a rental-registration program but would ensure some level of maintenance enforcement; adopting the International Fire Code (IFC); or adopting both codes. Also outlined were several options if the IPMC and IFC were adopted. One would require inspection for occupancy only at the time of sale and at the next sale. Another would require registration and inspection

once and not again unless a problem warrants inspection, while another would require registration and inspections at deﬁned intervals. Colburn said city staff is leaning toward the ﬁrst option, although landlords would be consulted for a possible recommendation. Councilman Neal Johnson said safety appears to be the driving factor behind the issue. “That’s what we’re trying to accomplish here,” Johnson said.

November prime time for ﬁlling buck tag The sound of leaves being crushed and the distinct grunt of a buck on the move boils my blood every time. Throw in a nervous doe, and you know the rut is here. Late October and through November constitutes the prime breeding cycle of a deer. Bucks are on the move the entire day and often lose 10-20 percent of their weight during this time frame. Filling a buck tag takes patience, hunting where the does are and often a good scrape line in or very near thick cover. During the mid-day hours it is common for a buck to roam the thickets in search for a hot doe.

Funnel to success

Fence rolls, ditch line, creek bottoms and any other natural type of funnel will increase your success. Ask yourself how you would travel from point A to point B without walking in the open. Position your stand in these locations. A thicket bordering a food source will draw does and then the rutting bucks. A scrape line will indicate a traveling buck’s presence and both the maker of the scrape and other bucks will visit the scrape. A hot doe will work over a buck’s scrape line leaving her scent in hopes of attracting a buck. (A doe comes in heat once every 30 days and she wants to make the most it.) High ground in a swamp or a cattail marsh is an excellent all-day location to hunt. The key is sliding in early and being undetected. Another good choice would be a small woodlot or briar patch that the other hunters walk right by thinking that it is too small to hold any deer. Locating a hot scrape that reeks is always fun. I don’t see a lot of deer when scrape hunting but normally you will see a hot doe and the buck. Using buck lure has proven productive for many. I’ve had excellent luck at times and other outings only moderate success. Rarely have I had any negative responses when using scent. Drag a rag or pad soaked with a buck lure around your stand in a ﬁgure-eight pattern. Hang three to four ﬁlm canisters with a cotton ball or a scent pad off of a small limb and let the air currents assist. Tinks is a long-time favorite of mine. All trails will lead to the front of your stand.

Tools for success

Decoys are fun to use but only during the archery sea-

son for safety purposes. Placing a decoy between a hot scrape and your stand or on the fringe of good bedding cover does work. Spray the decoy with some buck lure and try grunting. I like the Montana decoys because they fold up nicely and are lightweight. Adding a feather to the tail will create nice movement. A grunt call is effective during the rut in attracting a buck and in stopping a buck when attempting a shot. Use the grunt call every 15 minutes or so with a few burps. Don’t over-call. Using software from www.mytopo.com you can create a map of your hunting spot or potential spot from home. Locate bottlenecks, draws, etc. and mark the location with a GPS coordinate. Print out and take with you into the ﬁeld. This is a great time-saver. Avoid walking over the runways when traveling. You heard this before but I will say it again: Watch your scent. I wear Scent Lok or Silver Lining cloths from head to toe. Also, have a back-up plan on how to get to your stand and the same when leaving. Don’t spook the deer and don’t leave any scent behind. Gloves eliminate human scent on branches and ferns and rubber boots reduce the human scent when entering the woods. All day in a tree can be tough. Hunt smart and safe; use a safety strap. Ground blinds are a ﬁne option and the porCourtesy photo table pop-ups from AmeriStep work great. Just blend them into the surroundings.

Lansing Teen Court celebrates centennial per year as referred by the Ingham County Prosecuting Attorney’s Ofﬁce and Circuit Court-Family Division. Botke said, “Ten years ago, the community implemented a unique Juvenile Justice Program that engages and looks upon teens as a resource. Accountability, personal responsibility and a greater awareness of civic duty and community service is what we are teaching our youth.” Youths charged with minor offenses appear before a jury of their peers, who determine how the youth can repair the harm caused to the victim and community, and what services the youth may need to achieve personal success. Once the youth completes the peer jury’s sanctions, the court petition is dismissed and the youth does not incur a formal juvenile criminal record. The program has a 90 percent success rate.

“It takes courage for teens to stand in front of a jury of their peers during their court accountability hearing step,” Botke said. “Giving ﬁrst-time juvenile offenders an opportunity to repair the harm they caused in committing misdemeanor offenses is not only cost-effective, it works as a sound intervention, prevention and education program teaching our youth how to become part of the solution to community and personal challenges instead of being looked upon as the problem.” A total of 4,518 youths have been recruited and trained through a collaboration with Eastern, Sexton, Everett, Mason, Dansville, Williamston, East Lansing and Okemos high schools.

Bulldogs advance after big Fowlerville rout LaVallii gets four TDS By SCOTT YOSHONIS syoshonis@lsj.com

Mason’s Jenny Foote goes down for the dig, as teammate Jade Rogers (5) looks on, during the Bulldogs’ ﬁve-set win over Jackson in the opening game of districts at Holt on Nov. 2.

Mason makes comeback By SCOTT YOSHONIS

HOLT — We don’t call them “Bulldogs” for nothing. Mason dropped the ﬁrst two sets, but rallied back to take the last three to keep their season alive, winning its Class A volleyball district opener with a thrilling 23-25, 16-25, 25-21, 25-14, 15-10 win over Jackson at Holt on Nov. 2. The Bulldogs (17-19-3) advanced to face the host Rams in the district semiﬁnal on Nov. 4, after this paper went to press. Mason head coach Elisa Zwick said that her players won the match with mental toughness. “We didn’t stop believing that we could win,” Zwick

said. “They believed and they fought and that’s how you play this game.” Senior libero Jenny Foote had 20 digs in the match, Brooke Dippel had 5 blocks, Danielle Service dished out 28 assists, Hannah Reister had 13 kills and Cassie Stump came off the bench and contributed six aces for Mason, beginning at a crucial point in the match. The Bulldogs were down two sets and fell behind early in the third when Stump came on with her team trailing 11-7 and served up three straight aces to spark Mason’s comeback. “She did a great job, as a senior,” Zwick said. “She’s on and off sometimes. She can turn it on like that, and sometimes she can be inconsistent. She was on to-

night.” Stump was the catalyst again in the fourth, when she entered the game with Mason behind 12-11 and aced her first serve to start an 8-point run, as the Bulldogs won 14 of the last 16 points to win the set 25-14 and force a fifth, in which Mason never trailed. Zwick said that her team heeded her advice in the huddle after the second set. “I told them to close their eyes and see the finish,” she said. “And they did.” The winner of the Holt district advanced to the regional tournament at East Kentwood, and will face the winner of the Niles district at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 9. The regional final will take place at 6 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 11.

MASON — Junior running back Saylor LaVallii scored four touchdowns on the ground and Connor Holbrook had two more through the air to lead Mason to a 56-13 trouncing of Fowlerville (6-4) in its Division 3 pre-district football game on Oct. 29. The win set up the Bulldogs (9-1) with a chance for redemption against DeWitt in the district title game on Nov. 5, after this paper went to press. Last year, the Panthers routed Mason 42-0 for the district crown. Immediately after the win, LaVallii was already looking forward to the rematch for what would be Mason’s first-ever district football championship. “It’s a great win for us, but we have DeWitt next week,” he said. “They beat us pretty good last year, so we’re getting ready for them and hopefully we can pull out a victory.” The Bulldogs blew the game open late in the third quarter, when they scored three times in the span of 48 seconds to turn a still-competitive game into a Gladiator nightmare. The Gladiators came out with a spread offense, passing the ball on the first eight plays of the game, and drove down to the Mason 9-yard line. They came away empty, however, when Kevin Campbell’s 31-yard field-goal attempt went wide left. Mason scored on their next three possessions, with runs of 2 and 80 yards by LaVallii and a 9-yard pass from Thomas McNamara to Holbrook to take a 21-0 lead with 3:02 left in the second quarter. Fowlerville pulled one back just before halftime when Wedesky found Ryan Balazy on a 21-yard TD pass with 43.8 seconds on the clock to trim the lead to two touchdowns. Mason had a chance to add to their lead just before the break, when a 19-yard pass from McNamara to Sean Wren down to the Fowlerville 30-yard line set up a 47-yard field goal attempt by Jacob Derby. His kick was just short and wide right, leafing the score at 21-7 at the half. Despite holding the halftime lead, which they would never relinquish, Mason coach Jerry VanHavel did not like the way his team started the game. “We were very sluggish coming out,” VanHavel said. “I don’t know why, but we didn’t play with intensity in the first half. I hope that we learned from that, because we cannot play a half like that in the next round of the playoffs and be successful.”

“I don’t know why, but we didn’t play with intensity in the first half. I hope that we learned from that, because we cannot play a half like that in the next round of the playoffs and be successful.” – Mason coach Jerry VanHavel LaVallii picked up a serious-looking shoulder injury on the second-to-last play of the first half, and didn’t play on defense after the break, but said that it was not as bad as it initially looked. “It’s nothing,” he said. “I’m good.” Mason scored its fourth TD on a virtually identical play as their third, a 9-yard TD pass from McNamara to Holbrook to make the score 28-7 with 8:53 left in the third quarter. However, Fowlerville sophomore Jordan Jabara scored on a 3-yard run to cut Mason’s early three-touchdown lead to 28-13 with 3:13 left in the third. And then the wheels came off for Fowlerville. The Gladiators tried an onside kick. Mason recovered, and drove 49 yards in four plays, the last of which was a 37-yard run by LaVallii with 1:48 left in the third. Mason’s Jon Geer then picked off a Wedesky pass on the next play from scrimmage and returned it 18 yards for a touchdown to make the score 42-13. Fowlerville fumbled away the ensuing kickoff at its own 30-yard line, and LaVallii scored from there with 1:00 on the clock to give the Bulldogs a 49-13 lead in what seemed like the blink of an eye. Backup quarterback Jakob Somerville took an option keeper 25 yards with 5:46 left in the fourth to make the final score 56-13. The game marked the eighth time in their 10 games this year that the Bulldogs scored 44 points or more, and also the eighth game in which the Mason defense allowed two touchdowns or fewer. If Mason avenged last year’s defeat to DeWitt and won their district title, they were to play either Battle Creek Harper Creek at home or at Adrian for the regional title on Nov. 12.

Scouts earn badges, rank and the community,” Brown said. “The Eagle rank is earned by only 5 percent of Boy Scouts each year. Even fewer earn Palms. Jacob’s commitment to himself, the Troop and his community has earned him a place among an elite class of Scouts.” During the most recent Court of Honor, rank advancements were earned by Tyler Brown (Life), Colton Pnacek (Star), Marshall Clark (Tenderfoot) and Will Reid (Tenderfoot). Merit Badges were earned by Shadd Barnes (7), Tyler Brown (4), Robert Crooks (5), Jacob Hofmann (2), Eric Lanford (1), Jacob McGill (7), Colton Pnacek (7) and Maxx Rapp (2). Boy Scout Troop 141 is chartered by the St. James Catholic Church. Meetings are held at the Church on Tuesdays from 7-8:30 p.m. For more information, e-mail bsatroop141mason@gmail.com or call Scoutmaster Craig Barnes at (517) 244-9414 or committee Chair Jim Pnacek at (517) 244-0719.

MASON — Boy Scout Troop 141 honored 11 Scouts during a Court of Honor held Oct. 26 at St. James Catholic Church. The boys received merit badges and rank advancement for their efforts since May 2010. According to Scoutmaster Craig Barnes, Boy Scout summer camp played a vital role in the Scout’s merit badge count. “We awarded 11 boys a total of 35 merit badges, with four boys earning rank advancement and an Eagle Scout earning two Palms,” Barnes said. “Many of the merit badges were earned at Northwoods Boy Scout Reservation near West Branch, Mich., this summer. “Summer camp is a tremendous opportunity for boys to work on merit badges and advancement. Many people don’t realize the incredible amount of work Scouts accomplish at Boy Scout camp. ” Troop 141 advancement Chair Bernie Brown noted the signiﬁcance of Eagle Scout Jacob McGill earning a Bronze and a Gold Palm Leaf. “After a boy achieves Eagle he can earn Palm Leafs by earning more merit badges and more importantly, demonstrating leadership skills within the troop

LANSING — The YMCA of Lansing recently announced details of major renovations totaling $2 million at its Oak Park, Parkwood, Westside and Mystic Lake Camp branch locations. The improvements are being funded by the YMCA’s Open Doors capital campaign, which has raised just under $2 million since being launched three years ago. Tony Fragale, president and chief executive ofﬁcer of the YMCA of Lansing, was joined by key donors and campaign co-chairs James Butler and Bruce Augenstein in making the announcement at an event at the Oak Park branch. Guests viewed architectural renderings of the planned renovations and heard how Open Doors is the Y’s most successful capital campaign of the past 50 years. “We’re excited to be able to make this investment in our community, especially during an uncertain economic time,” said Tony Fragale, president and chief executive ofﬁcer of the YMCA of Lansing. “The Y’s mission endures, but our facilities required improvements in order to keep pace with a growing membership and meet emerging needs within our community. These renovations will allow the Y to expand its programs, serve more people, and ensure everyone, regardless of age, income or background, has the opportunity to learn, grow and thrive. The planned improvements focus on four signature program areas: Active Older Adults, Y-Fitness for Teens, Strengthening Families and HOPE Scholars Award Incentives. Highlights include: • Oak Park: Family locker rooms and a new crossover wellness center that will meet the health needs of teens and older adults • Westside: A new wellness center for teens and a new teen learning center designed to improve literacy, technology and math skills among young people • Parkwood: Family locker rooms that will enhance the experience of families and children when using the Y • Mystic Lake Camp: Detailed project plans will be announced later this year Demolition to make room for the renovations is currently under way. The projects at the Lansing branches will be completed over the next few months, with construction

anticipated to finish in January. Work at Mystic Lake Camp will begin in 2011. “Thanks to the generosity of our donors, we will be able to help more people — help older adults remain active, help teens stay healthy, help keep families together and help motivate students to stay in school and remain focused on their future,” Fragale said. “Each and every dollar contributed will be used to make a meaningful and lasting impact on the health and well-being of the mid-Michigan community.” Campaign co-chairs James Butler and Bruce Augenstein noted that the Y’s mission is even more critical during an economic downturn. They pointed to the Y’s programs for at-risk youth, and the organization’s commitment to not turning away anyone due to inability to pay. (Funds raised through the YMCA’s annual fundraising campaign are used to provide financial assistance to children, families and older adults.) “The community needs the programs and services that the Y delivers, especially during these tough economic times,” Butler said. “There is no better opportunity to nurture spirit, mind and body than when people are facing challenges and experiencing stress in their life,” Augenstein said. “I believe the community recognized this and chose to give generously to the Open Doors campaign.” The projects are also an economic boon since local businesses have been hired to complete the work. MAYOTTEgroup Architects designed the renovation plans and Parish Corporation has been retained as project manager. “We owe the success of Open Doors campaign to the tremendous outpouring of support from donors throughout the Lansing community,” Fragale said. “We’re incredibly proud of the fact that Open Doors is one of the Y’s most successful capital campaigns since we were founded 133 years ago. That’s a strong indication of the value the community finds in the Y’s programs and services.” The Open Doors capital campaign counts 190 donors, and that number is still growing. Donations are being accepted online at YMCAofLansing.org. — From the YMCA of Lansing

Center students learn work safety MASON — Students from the Capital Area Career Center learned about real-life issues after recently attended a seminar, “Safety Training for Workplace Teens,” presented by Passes Edge Training based out of Riverview. Students from the Construction, Precision Machining, Welding Technology, CAD Design and Programming, Databases and Web site Design classes took part in this seminar. The training focused on topics such as safe chemical handling, proper lifting techniques, ladder safety, exposures, personal protective equipment and sexual harassment to name a few. During the seminar the students were provided with a hands-on experiment referencing the three states of matter; gas, liquids and solids. Students were also shown the proper way to examine necessary equipment they may need to use for certain situations. The seminar was conducted by Cameron Pichan, a Passes Edge training instructor and professional firefighter.

“As a firefighter, I hope to never have to see a death that could have been avoided. I know it’s unrealistic for me to think there won’t ever again be workplace injuries that could have been avoided, but if this training saves at least one person, it makes it all worth it,” Pichan said. As for teaching teenagers about workplace safety, Pichan said, “This is the time when they are entering the workplace, and it’s important for them to realize how important it is to practice safe work habits.” Jose Estrada, a junior from East Lansing in the Welding Technology program at the Career Center said, “I was surprised to learn how many teenagers die each year because of an unsafe work environment. It is important for me and my fellow classmates to understand what is safe and what is not.” For more information, visit http://cacc.inghamisd.org. — From the Ingham Intermediate School District
