MASON — Ingham Coun-ty Housing CommissionExecutive Director BruceJohnston said “curb appeal”is one feature that two reha-bilitated homes bring to thecity.
Homes at 732 S. Colum-bia and 120 S. Barnes wereshown to the public at anOct. 12 open house.
The homes were the firsttwo high-quality, energy-effi-cient houses completed withgrant money from the Mich-igan State Housing Devel-opment Authority (MSHDA)funding using NeighborhoodStabilization Program (NSP)funding.
The NSP provides target-ed assistance to local andstate governments to ac-quire and redevelop fore-closed properties that mightotherwise be blight in theircommunities.
Rehabilitation costs forboth Columbia and Barnesproperties, Johnston said,were about $200,000.
Electrical, plumbing andother improvements suchas siding and roofing weremade, plus both houses areequipped with 5-Star energy-efficient appliances, accord-ing to Johnston.
“There really isn’t any-thing left to do,” he said.
“This house is real finefor a family,” City Adminis-trator Marty Colburn said ofthe Columbia home.
That home comes withwhat Colburn and Johnstonnoted was a “mother-in-lawor grandmother suite” be-cause a bedroom, a handi-
capped-accessible bathroomand kitchen adjoin each oth-er.

INGHAM COUNTY —For years, officials in ruralareas of the county foughtto preserve their onlysource of regular policeprotection — the road pa-trol division of the InghamCounty Sheriff’s Office.
With the fight all butlost, they decided to formtheir own police collectivein an unprecedented showof regional cooperation.
“The county has cut usoff, so this is the best op-tion we thought we couldput forward,” said William-stown Township Supervi-sor Mickey Martin. “Wehave these meetings, andevery one of the 13 supervi-sors will show up. It’s beenphenomenal.”
How it all works will bedetermined in the Nov. 2elections, when voters inthe 13 rural townships de-cide if they are willing topay for police protection.
Voters in all but twoof the townships will beasked if they want to ap-
prove special assessmentsthat would cost homeown-ers a flat rate of up to $150a year and business own-ers up to $250 a year.
In Alaiedon and Wheat-field townships, the assess-ments would be based ona millage rate of 1 and 1.56mills, respectively.
If all of them pass, theassessments would gener-ate about $2 million a yearfor police services. Thetownships would form apolice board to administerthe money.
“The plan is to have18 officers available,” said

county Commissioner Randy Schafer, R-Williamston, whois openly supporting the ballot issue. “The best option isfor these 13 townships to stick together. We’d get betterservices.”
OptionsThe police board could decide to contract with the sher-
iff’s department or one or more local police departmentsor form its own police department.
“We would do whatever is going to be the most cost-ef-fective,” Martin said. “We’re hoping we won’t need to levythe whole amount every year.”
Urban and rural factions spent years battling over thesheriff’s road patrol before the issue was finally decidedthis year.
The county Board of Commissioners has steadily cutfunding for the sheriff’s department and ultimately decidedto eliminate the road patrol on Jan. 1.
That will leave much of the out-county area with no oneto respond to all but the most serious of incidents, local of-ficials said. In emergencies, the state police, county sheriffor other police agencies will respond as they are able. Butresponse time is a serious concern, local officials said.
Counties are required to provide 911 service, said coun-ty Commissioner Laura Davis, a Democrat who representsAurelius Township and part of Delhi Township.
“How quick that response is, that’s where the discrep-ancy is,” Davis said. “You’re asking someone to show upfrom who-knows-where.”
Leslie Township Supervisor Dallas Henney said he andthe other township supervisors are trying to educate vot-ers about the issue and don’t want to scare them.
“If there’s a life-or-death situation, they would have to
help out if they can,” he said. (But) it’s going to be a veryprecarious situation. You just hate the thought that some-thing happens and there’s nobody there to respond.”
Henney said he knows that some individuals don’t be-lieve that townships should fund this.
“They think the county should do it, But the choicecomes down to whether or not they want to have policecoverage come Jan. 1,” Henney said.
It’s not unusual for two or three local governments toband together for things like police and fire protection.But in scope, the rural police board idea in Ingham Countyis probably unique, said Jim Beelen, a spokesman for theMichigan Townships Association.
“A special assessment is a wise choice because the in-formation gets out the same to all of the units,” he said.“I think it’s wonderful that so many units can get togetherand approach it this way.”
Martin said she and Henney began organizing meetingsof township supervisors after it became clear they wouldlose road patrol service.
“We felt a responsibility to at least get something to-gether,” she said. “Individually, townships could do it. Butit’s cost-prohibitive for townships to go it alone. It’s justway too expensive.”
Issue still unclearMany questions can’t be answered until after the elec-
tion, officials said.Because each township is voting separately, some might
approve the assessment and some might not, leaving holesin out-county police coverage.
Townships that defeat the ballot proposal would be ontheir own.
“We will work with what we have,” Martin said.Whatever happens on election day, the supervisors will
have just two months to form a police board and get theball rolling.
“We’re going to be meeting constantly,” Martin said.“We already have two meetings set up in November. We’reworking very hard to get everything scheduled and in placeso we can take off.”
The supervisors have contacted the sheriff’s departmentand the police departments in Mason, Leslie, Williamstonand Meridian Township about contracting for police ser-vices, Martin said.
All of them have expressed some interest in the idea,she said. The new police board could decide to contractwith a single agency to cover everyone or divide the areainto sections and contract with several different agencies.
“We’re just going to look at all the options and pick theone that makes the most sense,” Henney said. “We’re goingto keep a real open mind.”
Township supervisors say they’ve taken no officialstance on the ballot proposals. They’ve held town-hallmeetings and sent out newsletters explaining the issue.
There is no election committee promoting the proposaland no organized opposition at the township level, offi-cials said Schafer said he’s attended a number of town hallmeetings and believes the ballot proposals will be success-ful.
“It not a popular thing to talk about ballot issues or tax-es, but I just go around to every group and say I’ll supportit,” he said.
Davis, who also fought to save the sheriff’s road patrol,said out-county residents will get much better service thanthey are used to if the ballot proposals pass because ser-vice levels had been cut so far.
“I believe people value it enough to vote yes,” she said.“I think people want to have safe neighborhoods. Peopleunderstand if they have a certain level of public safety, theeconomy can grow. It’s an economic investment.”

Scouts thankedA big thank you to the Mason Girl Scouts
who took on the challenge of setting up andtaking down all the signs and barricadesfor the Mason Farmer’s Market, and ran afundraising booth for their 2012 trip to NewYork. It was a great success as lots of good-ies were baked each week and many mar-ketgoers appreciated an enormous varietyof baked goods and crafts. This effort bygirls and parents was appreciated everyweek. (OK: Who did make that great sev-en-layer bar cookie?) A big thank you toparents and girls alike, who hauled, setup,and baked their way to a great season —and have promised to do it again next year:MJ and Traci Phillips; Traci and Caitlin Ber-geon; Gina and Rachel Dumont and SierraYoung; Cindy, Joe, Racheland and HannahHyaduck; Sarah and Makayla Rickets; Ma-ribeth, Carrie & Katie Harger; Gwen andShelly Bagley; Michele and Jessamy Burton,Monica and Jane Bush; Mary & Alex Croff;Forest and Madison Hill; Pam and JanaeMiller; Gail and Leaha Sinnaeve; Kathy andAmber Sodman; Suzie and Shelby Wiborn;Sava Treloar; Teresa and Marlee Rapp; andLuana and Chelsey King.

Lavonne PullumHolt
I know that State Rep. Barb Byrum has what it takesto fight for education and the future while cutting waste-ful spending out of our budget. Barb is masterful at findingways to slash government waste, and she doesn’t believeour children should bear the burden of irresponsible gov-ernment spending. Instead, Barb has voted to hold law-makers responsible by cutting their pay and lifetime healthcare benefits.
Rachel BeecroftMason
Oesterle endorsed
Candie Oesterle is my endorsement for Vevay Townshipclerk. I know firsthand that she is a person of diligence, in-tegrity and very skilled in public relations.
As a former Vevay Township deputy clerk, I witnessedCandie’s expertise and work ethic as she served as deputytreasurer. Candie always has a ready smile, a listening earand the ability to deal with concerns in a timely fashion.
Also, please note this little known fact that a person canvote a straight ticket and still vote for Candie as an inde-pendent.
Janice WheelerMason
I hope to clarify a couple of points regarding the elec-tion of clerk for Vevay Township. When Susan Kosier va-cated the office, her deputy clerk was appointed to conductthe primary and the general elections that would be heldduring the rest of Susan’s term. Shaun Sherwood, thetownship treasurer, and Candie Oesterle, the deputy trea-surer, have handled the other duties of that position. Con-ducting elections is an important aspect of the clerk’s job,
but there is more to it. The second point I want to clarifyis that it doesn’t take a great deal of special knowledgeto handle the job of township clerk. Candie Oesterle hasworked for Vevay Township for 10 years altogether, andduring that time, has helped in several capacities, includ-ing running elections. Whatever the clerk does that Candiedoesn’t already know, she could easily learn. She would dothe job as she has done everything else in the township of-fice — competently and graciously. Yes, Candie Oesterle isa very good friend of mine. She’s also a very good friend ofVevay Township.
Annette HainesVevay Township
As a lifelong resident of Vevay Township, I have pledgedmy vote for Candie Oesterle for Vevay Township Clerk.
Having worked at the town hall office for 10 years andliving in the township for nearly 38 years, Candie has theskill and experience to do this job and do it very well. Can-die is very adept at working with people which is a hugepart of township government. Please consider Candie Oes-terle as our new clerk.
Mary StidVevay Township
Kean endorsed
On Nov. 2, Vevay Township voters will elect a clerk tofill the remainder of my term that will expire on Nov. 20,2012. The two candidates are both popular, committed, hon-est people, so the choice for many may be difficult. For me,while choosing the best qualified candidate is not difficult. Itis difficult to choose one over the other, as I have affectionand respect for both of them.
Because of some ongoing health issues, I felt I could notfinish my term and retired on June 1 and as the townshipboard could not agree on the appointment of a new clerk,the law gave the responsibility for nominating candidates tothe executive committees of the county political parties.
Both candidates requested the Republican nomination.Since most of the committee members did not know eithercandidate, their choice had to be based on overall qualifica-tions and experience. The Republicans overwhelmingly se-
lected JoAnne Kean.When the Democratic Party chose not to submit a nomi-
nee, JoAnne’s opponent, Candie Oesterle, then opted to ap-pear on the ballot under “no party affiliation.”
Township clerks and treasurers are required by state stat-ute to have deputies, so an additional burden on those of-ficials is to have a well-trained, knowledgeable deputy whocan assume the duties of the office in the event that the of-ficial cannot. JoAnne served as my deputy clerk from 2007until June 1 and has acquired the necessary knowledge andskills to do just that.
Having been employed by the township prior to 2008,JoAnne welcomed and embraced both the current townshiptreasurer Shaun Sherwood and office secretary/deputy trea-surer Candie Oesterle when they joined the office at thattime. Other than myself, JoAnne Kean is the only actual ac-credited elections administrator in the jurisdiction and assuch, and was appointed by the township board to conductthis year’s primary and general elections.
JoAnne’s experience, education and training in the manytechnical and legal responsibilities and duties assigned tothe clerk’s office make her most qualified to assume theclerk’s position. She is committed, organized and meticu-lous in the execution of her work, has a good understand-ing of the issues before the township and is professional andrespectful to the public.
JoAnne’s candidacy is further supported by senior town-ship board members, Supervisor Ron Weesies and trusteeDale Ruttan, as well as various members of the planningcommission and zoning board of appeals with whom shehas worked. JoAnne is a fair-minded, forward-thinking per-son of integrity who I know will always stand for local con-trol, the balance between property rights and communityconcerns and make lawful, educated and equitable deci-sions on behalf of the citizens of Vevay Township. I wasproud to have JoAnne as my deputy clerk and would beproud to have her finish my term.
I hope you will join me in giving her your vote on Nov.2.

2. Zoning enforcement: If a zoning ordinance isimportant enough to be passed, I will encourageenforcement. If it isn’t in the best interest of the resi-dents, I would recommend it be amended.
3. Fairness to its residents: I believe everyoneshould be treated with fairness and respect. I wantevery resident to feel they can get the assistance theyneed and I would encourage them to become moreinvolved in township policies.
What services do you consider vital and leasteligible for cuts?
I consider police and fire protection to be vital andwould oppose cuts in those two areas.

Tree tentativeOct. 5: The code enforcement officer
opened an investigation for a dead tree haz-ard on private property on North RogersStreet.

Telephone tangleOct. 5: A resident came in to document
that an unidentified white truck drove south-bound on Barnes Street, got hung up on thetelephone line to his house and pulled itdown. He was advised to contact his phonecarrier and have the line repaired.

residence for an attempted fraud complaint.The complainant stated he had received atelephone call from someone calling himself“James Cooper” and claiming to be from Les-lie. Supposedly the complainant had won aMercedes Benz and a million dollars.
Easily recognizing this as a scam, the com-plainant provided no money or personal in-formation, but did say he “toyed with” thecaller a little while before hanging up on him.The officer advised him to contact the Ma-son Police Department should he get anothercall.
Kipp Road larcenyOct. 5: An officer responded to a larceny
report on Kipp Road. The victim stated thatwhen he went to his vehicle, he found thefront hood slightly ajar and his car batterymissing. The vehicle was unlocked at thetime. The complaint remains open and leadsare requested from the public.
Treatment renderedOct. 5: Officers responded to a “man
down” report at Cedar and South streets. Itwas determined the victim had been runningand possibly tripped, resulting in a fall duringwhich he struck his head on the pavementand was knocked unconsciousness. Familyand medical assistance were summoned, andthe victim was taken to an area medical facil-ity for treatment.
Barrels stolenOct. 6: An officer took a larceny complaint
from the representative of an area church.The complainant advised five large orangebarrels were stolen from a construction areain front of the church. The case remains
open, and anyone having information regard-ing the whereabouts of the barrels is asked tocontact Mason police.

son report from a residential facility in Ma-son. The complainant reported a resident ofthe facility left on her own accord with herboyfriend and had not returned. The com-plainant added the missing person did notpick up her child from day care, and staffmembers were on their way to take custody.

An endangered missing person alert hasbeen entered into the statewide data base,and a referral filed with Child Protective Ser-vices regarding the abandonment. The inves-tigation remains open.
Scent, scurrying cluesOct. 6: Officers were dispatched to a Ma-
son apartment complex where the complain-ant reported marijuana was being used. Theofficers arrived and, once inside the building,were able to locate the point of origin by fol-lowing the scent.

male leave the building, but contact with himproduced no evidence of drug use. Apart-ment management will be notified of thecomplaint for their determination of action.

Township Control vs. Your RightsMost folks do not have an understanding for how townshipgovernment has an impact on their lives. Actually it is verysignificant as the taxation and development of your propertyflows through local government. In Michigan the townshipsreceive their authority to do this through the Planning EnablingAct and the Zoning Enabling Act. A township sets its long rangedevelopment plans with the Master Plan which is reviewed every5 years. This plan is carried out by the Zoning Ordinance.
In the United States we value the concept of “government bythe people, for the people, and of the people.” When a townshipsets out to either develop or rewrite their master plan the morepublic input that is sought and received the better it will representall of the residents in the township. The same thing applies tothe zoning ordinance. The job of administering and enforcing thezoning ordinance falls to the Zoning Administrator. The ZoningBoard of Appeals insures fairness and the due process rights ofthe residents of the township. This board is the “appeals court”for Zoning Administrator decisions. The final piece to this puzzleis the formation of zoning districts. The Master Plan definesthe general areas and types of development foreseen in thetownship. The Zoning Ordinance and the Zoning Map outlinesspecific areas in the township for specific uses.
There is another key right of the citizenry that is apected bytownship government. Our right to vote is administered andsafeguarded by the Township Clerk who is also a member ofthe Township Board. The Board is the legislative body of thetownship and gives final approval of the Master Plan and theZoning Ordinance. Make sure you exercise your right to vote onNovember 2.

MASON — The Masonschool district is working oncreating customized calen-dars for parents.
Superintendent MarkDillingham told the schoolboard on Oct. 12 that the dis-trict wants to improve its pa-
rental communications, andspecial online calendars area way to accomplish this.
“This way, parents canfind where and when eventsare happening,” Dillinghamsaid. Bruce Barbour, execu-tive director of curriculum,said parents eventually willbe able to access dates viathe Mason Public Schools’
Web site athttp://mason.k12.mi.us andthrough Google calendars.
There are advantages toboth methods, according toBarbour.
Using the school Website, he said, is quick andeasy, and no Google accountis needed.
Although the calendar
link at the top left of theschool Web site is not “live”yet, Barbour said that even-tually parents will be able toclick on a particular schoolto access that calendar.
Eventually Google calen-dars, which require a freeGoogle account, will bemade public and use weekly,monthly and yearly views.
All that’s required, Bar-bour noted, is Internet ac-cess, with mobile accessalso available.
“Anyone anywhere canpull up their calendar,” hesaid.
Changes to calendars willbe made immediately andare automatic, Barboursaid.
Dillingham, who pointedout that 85-90 percent of thedistrict’s parents have webaccess, said more informa-tion will be available to themthrough the district’s news-letter “Keynotes” in earlyDecember.
“I think it’s going to servethe district well,” Barboursaid.

MASON — The Ingham County Animal Control (ICAC)is offering spay and neuter help to cat owners who can notafford the surgery on Oct. 26- 27. According to Director ofIngham County Animal Control Jamie McAloon Lampman,“We can pay now, or pay later. And by paying later, I meanhaving to deal with thousands of unwanted cats that willbe brought to our shelter or become abandoned.” To date,the shelter has taken in more than 1,900 unwanted cats, shesaid. By helping cat owners who could not afford to have
the surgery done, McAloon believes this program will pre-vent the death of thousands of cats that would have been eu-thanized. According to shelter staff, 55 to 60 percent of thestaff’s workload is caring for thousands of cats and handlingclose to 4,000 cat complaints annually.

MASON — The Masonboys soccer team bookeda place in the CAAC CupGroup 1 championshipgame, and handed LansingCatholic their first defeatof the season, with a 2-0semifinal win on Oct. 12.
Previously, the Bulldogsadvanced to the semifinalwith a 1-0 win over LansingEverett on Oct. 7.
Nick McNeilly scoredthe only goal against Ev-erett with 11:54 left in thefirst half of their quarterfi-nal clash, off of a long freekick by goalkeeper JacobDerby.
Derby sent the kick fromjust inside the Viking half infront of their bench to thefar side of the Everett box,where Zach Rogers blast-ed a volley across the faceof the goal and McNeillyturned it in past helpless Vi-king keeper Brett Dawsey.
Injuries have taken theirtoll on Mason’s attack,which has severely reducedits scoring from the run ofplay, but head coach NickBinder was happy that histeam found the back of thenet anyway.
“It was a set piece.Again,” Binder said. “Wekeep living and dying bythem, fortunately livingmore than dying lately.”
With districts comingup, Binder said that thetemptation to take it easyduring the Cup to rest andheal and test new playersand tactics goes out thewindow when it comestime to play the games.
“It’s easy, two days be-fore the game, to say thatwe’re going to take it asa learning experience,” hesaid. “But our guys loveto compete, in practice, onthe bus and all that kind ofstuff, so it’s a good win forus.”
Both No. 4So was the semifinal
over the previously unde-
feated Cougars. The twoteams went into the gameeach ranked fourth in thestate, Mason in Division 2and Lansing Catholic in Di-vision 3.
Zach Rogers and TimLyons scored the Masongoals, both on rebounds,a few minutes on eitherside of halftime, to sendthe Bulldogs to the tourna-ment final for the secondconsecutive year.
That CAAC Cup Finalwas played at DeWitt onOct. 14 after this paperwent to press.
The loss ended a brutalstretch for the Cougars,who defeated Okemos andDeWitt before falling shortagainst the Bulldogs in theirthird tough game in thespan of five days.
Lansing Catholic coachGus Flores was happy withhis team’s effort in their firstdefeat, and only the secondtime they had trailed, thisseason.
“It was inevitably goingto happen,” Flores said.“We kept fighting through,so the boys can hold theirheads up high. Mason is an-other quality team aroundhere, and we wanted to seeif we could match up withthem. I think we did. Wegave them a battle.”
Mason opened the scor-ing from a long free kickfrom the left wing by PeterBrandenburg. Cougar goal-keeper Nick Davis savedthe initial shot, but the re-bound fell to Rogers, whotucked it inside the far postwith exactly four minutesleft in the first half.
Binder said that histeam’s 1-0 lead at the breakwas a fortunate one.
“(We played) much bet-ter in the second half thanin the first half,” Bindersaid. “We had troublematching Lansing Catho-lic’s intensity in the firsthalf, we lost a few marks inthe midfield and we didn’tdeserve to be winning in thefirst half by any stretch.”
Tyler Raab started the
play that led to the secondgoal, sending Rogersthrough on the left-wingside of the Lansing Catho-lic box. Rogers’s first-timeshot forced a diving savefrom Davis, but Lyon wasright there to make thescore 2-0 just over threeminutes after the break.
The Cougars had theirchances in the game, thebest and last of which whenEric Watson’s free kickfrom outside the left sideof the Mason penalty areawas headed inches wide ofthe near post by Aaron Wil-son with 11:20 left in thegame.
Binder said that he likedwhat he saw after thebreak.
“We were much, muchbetter in the second half,”he said. “We located, we putpressure on every touch,and I thought that was thedifference.”
After the Cup Finalcomes the start of the Divi-
sion 2 district tournament,which Mason will open atMarshall on Tuesday, Oct.19, which may be the mostvaluable part of having asuccessful CAAC Cup tour-nament.
“The biggest thing is thatwe get to play a meaning-ful game in preparation fora really meaningful gameon Tuesday,” Binder said.“We’ve been pointing at thatone for a while now.”
After the district open-ers, the rest of the tour-nament will be played atEaton Rapids.
The winner of theMason/Marshall game willplay Coldwater there onThursday, Oct. 21 for theright to face either BattleCreek Harper Creek, BattleCreek Pennfield, Charlotteor Eaton Rapids for the dis-trict title on Saturday, Oct.23.
Mason will host the Di-vision 2 regional tourna-ment beginning on Oct. 27.

Everyone seems to knowthey can count on the li-brary when they’re lookingfor books by their favoritebestselling author, classicson their student reading listsor old favorites like Dr. Se-uss. But the library alsois chock-full of great sci-ence information for curi-ous minds.
Often the first topic tospark scientific curiosity inchildren is dinosaurs. Thereis something about huge,extinct, prehistoric animalsthat rouses wonder andimagination. A quick searchof the Capital Area DistrictLibrary (CADL) catalogbrings up a variety of re-sources, from dinosaur en-cyclopedias, books of facts,stories, magazines (CADLDansville has an issue ofZooBooks dedicated to thetopic) to DVDs and CDs.
One of my personal fa-vorites is a music CD narrat-ed and sung by Al Jarreau.Called “A T-Rex named Sue,”it’s based on the true storyof the largest tyrannosaurusskeleton ever found.
Then there are eBooks.Even in the comfort of yourpajamas you can learn moreabout dinosaurs with eB-ooks like “Encyclopedia ofDinosaurs” and “EyewitnessDinosaur.” To find them, vis-it cadl.org and click on Re-search Tools, then on theScience link.
More great informationcan be found in the databaseSIRS Discoverer. Click onthe Animals icon and you’llfind links to lots of articlesabout dinosaurs and otherextinct animals.
Dino fans won’t want tomiss a family “Dinosaur Daywith PaleoJoe” at 4 p.m.Thursday, Oct. 28 at theDansville Village Hall. “Pa-leoJoe” Kchodl is a paleon-tologist and author whosehigh-energy program willmake you feel like you are

With all but one runnerreturning from a team thatwon the 2009 Greater Lan-sing Cross Country Cham-pionships by more than 120points, it appeared beforethe season that Division 2state champion Ionia wouldeasily repeat.
But then came the emer-gence of second-ranked Ma-son, which lost 110-123 toIonia in the first meetingof the season against eachother at the recent PortageInvitational.
“I don’t think we ran ourbest on Saturday,” Masoncoach Charles Miller said.
“So we’re happy to takeanother crack at them.”
The boys race was totake place at Ledge Mead-ows Golf Course on Oct.16, after this paper went topress.
This year’s final victorymargin may be similar to St.Johns’ 141-144 win over Io-nia in 2008, but each teammight score about 100points less than that sinceboth Ionia and Mason will
likely place all of their firstfive within the top 30 run-ners who receive individualmedals.
Both team’s top runnerswill also compete with EastLansing senior Robbie Glewand Perry senior JustinKrauss for first placeindividually.
Ionia junior ConnorMontgomery has run thefastest time so far this fall,15:47 while winning theGrand Rapids Catholic Cou-gar-Falcon Invitational onSept. 25.
Senior Don Blight andjunior Nick Wharry wereeach the Bulldogs’ top run-ner in the two meets afterthat.
“They have no qualmsabout who wins, and that’sneat,” Ionia boys coachChris Young said.
“Each is distinctly differ-ent. Connor has great heart,Wharry has all of the talentin the world and is stilllearning how to use it, andBlight runs on pure guts.”
Tanner Hinkle has re-placed sophomoreteammate Alex Whitmer asMason’s top runner in most
recent meets.Hinkle’s top time of 16:13
is more than a minute fasterthan his 2009 best of 17:29.
“He has run every daysince July 2009,” Millersaid.
“While I wouldn’t recom-mend that for everybody,that work ethic has madeTanner very strong.”
Junior Joe Cecil, whojoined other teammates onmost of Hinkle’s summerworkouts, also improvedfrom a 2009 best of 17:02 to16:18 so far this fall.
The latest Bulldog show-ing considerable improve-ment is freshman MasonVanDyke.
The 2009 Greater Lan-sing Junior Cross CountryChampionship winner wasMason’s second man with a16:26, down seven secondsfrom his previous best.
“He seems to be comingon at the right time for usafter some slight injury is-sues early in the year,” Mill-er said.
Six returning Ionia run-ners were faster in 2009than Mason’s top returner(Whitmer), who ran 16:52
last fall.But the Bulldogs’ vast
improvement from 32nd inthe 2007 Greater Lansingmeet to 22nd in 2008 toninth last year should takethem to first or second onSaturday.
“I knew I had a goodgroup coming, but younever know how it’s goingto come together,” Millersaid.
“It’s been fun watching itcome to fruition.
To have a chance goinginto this meet of winning itis exciting for them, for meand for Mason.”
Determining who maytake third to Ionia and Ma-son will likely depend onthe performance of theirfifth runners among Divi-sion 3 fourth-ranked Lan-sing Catholic, Division 2honorable mention Haslett,CAAC Blue leaders Okemosand East Lansing, and Divi-sion 3 No. 6 Perry.
Other teams aiming tocrack the top 10 includeHolt, Division 4 second-ranked Potterville, Char-lotte, Grand Ledge, Almaand Williamston.
Bulldog harriers on track late in seasonBy DICK [email protected]
Mason cross-country runners Jacob Hansen (1571)and Joe Cecil (1567) are in action earlier this seasonat the Spartan Invitational back on Sept. 17. TheBulldogs will compete in the Division 2 regionals atJackson’s Sharp Park on Oct. 30.

MASON — Saylor LaVallii rushed for 248 yards and fourtouchdowns to lead Mason to a 45-12 rout of MuskegonHeights (3-4) in a non-league football game on Oct. 8.
The win clinched automatic qualification for the MH-SAA state playoffs, and gave the Bulldogs some momen-tum going into their biggest game of the year, the CAACRed finale against Sexton on Oct. 15.
That game, which was played after this paper went topress, gave Mason a chance to clinch a share of the leaguetitle with a win. Sean Wren and Ben Hinamanu scored theother touchdowns for the Bulldogs (6-1), in a game of twodistinctly different halves.
Mason scored just twice in the first half, both with thebenefit of a short field. First, Eric Nelson recovered a Ti-ger fumble at the 50, but the Bulldogs had to settle for a27-yard field goal by Jacob Derby that made the score 3-0.
Then, Mason took over after a shanked Heights puntthat gave the Bulldogs the ball on their own 43. LaValliiscored on a 33-yard run three plays later to give his team a10-0 lead with 2:41 left in the first quarter.
Muskegon Heights then also took advantage of goodfield position, as Deontae Hudson ran the ensuing kickoffback to the Mason 41 yard line, and Adam Ross scoredfrom four yards out on the first play of the second quarterto cut the lead to 10-6.
Penalties and mistakes hampered both teams for therest of the half, which saw the Tigers’ Division 1 collegeprospect Willie Snead drive his team down to the Masonone-yard line. A holding penalty drove them back, andWren picked off a Snead pass in the end zone with 3:56 leftin the second quarter to keep the contest 10-6 at the break.“We didn’t get into our rhythm in the first half,” VanHavelsaid. “Part of that was them (Muskegon Heights) playingwell, but part of it was our not playing well in the first half.I told the kids at halftime to just settle in and get a goodrhythm, and that’s what they did in the second half.”
“We didn’t play our best football game tonight, but that’sa positive for us. It was a great victory, and you can’t lookdown on a victory.”
Second half better
Mason began to find, or create, holes in the Heights de-fensive line in the second half that were not there in thefirst, starting with Wren, who ran 64 yards for a touchdownwith 3:40 left in the third.
Snead scored from 11 yards out on the Tigers’ next pos-session to make the score 17-12, but it was all Bulldogsfrom there.
LaVallii broke free for a 65-yard TD on the next snapfrom center, and scored from six yards out on the fourthplay of the fourth quarter to increase the lead to 31-12.
Hinamanu broke several tackles on the way to a 48-yard
TD run on the first play of Mason’s next possession with7:35 left in the game, and LaVallii provided an exclamationpoint to his, and Mason’s, evening with an 88-yard touch-down with 1:09 left.
The Bulldogs have scored 44 points or more in all five ofits wins this season.
“It was a big win for us, but we have the biggest game ofthe year next week, so we have to prepare for that,” LaVal-lii said. “St. Johns was a really tough loss for us, so we haveto get to work this week for Sexton.”
That Sexton game, which gave the Bulldogs the chanceto claim their third straight league title, was a mirror imageof last year’s clash between the two.
Mason went to Sexton having clinched a share of the2009 title, looking to take it outright with a win, but the BigReds made it a three-way tie with St. Johns with the upsetwin in overtime.
This year, Sexton went into the game with at least ashare in their pocket, and a Mason win would almost cer-tainly cause a three-way tie with the Redwings at the top ofthe standings.
This week, the Bulldogs travel to Eaton Rapids on Fri-day, Oct. 22 for the regular-season finale against the woe-ful, winless Greyhounds, winners of just four games in thelast six seasons.
Mason will begin its postseason with a pre-district gameon Friday, Oct. 29, with the venue and opponent yet to bedetermined.

Inspired by
wonder
When we think about our future, we see
our children and the people of mid-Michigan.
So when we created our vision, they inspired
us to set our sights high: to be recognized as a
national leader in quality and patient care. To get
there, we’re making bold changes like creating
mid-Michigan’s first ER designed just for children.
We also partnered with LifeNet of Michigan to
start the region’s first dedicated helicopter service
that speeds patients to our Level I Trauma Center.
And that’s just the beginning.
