MeridianBowl victory
The Okemos football team celebrates a hard-fought victory over Haslett towin the Meridian Bowl, which had been in the hands of the Vikings since2007. Okemos’ defense and powerful running game helped as the Chiefscame out on top Friday, Oct. 22, ending their football season with a 5-4record — the best since 2007. The win did not earn Okemos a berth in thestate high school football playoffs. See story and pictures, Page 29
OKEMOS – Interim superintendentCatherine Ash is expected to be named thenext superintendent of theOkemos School District.
The Okemos schoolboard appears ready tomake the appointment at itsnext meeting on Monday,Nov. 8,.
Ash was named the in-terim superintendent afterCheryl Kreger announced inMay that she would retirefrom the superintent’s posteffective July 1.
Ash came to work in the OkemosSchool District in August of 1996 fromthe DeWitt School District where sheworked as assistant principal at DeWittHigh School.
Her annual salary of $147,755 will notbe increased, officials say.
Ash had served as deputy superinten-dent for Kreger, and during her tenurewith Okemos has handled human resourc-es and finance duties.
A board committee recommended Ash
for the post during the board’s meetingMonday, Oct. 25 .
Board member Peter Trezise pointed outthe expense that would likely be wasted ona national search for a new superintendent.
“I don’t believe we can afford it,” Trezisesaid. “The $8,000 to $10,000 we wouldspend would lead us back to where we arenow.”
Others spoke to Ash’s suitability for herproposed new position.
“I have observed board meetings, and Ihave always been impressed by the master-ful and professional way Dr. Ash conductsherself,” new board member Melanie Lynnsaid.
“She continually responded to ques-tions, and was able to respond to com-ments which may or may not have beenfavorable.”
“I feel like Dr. Ash is a problem-solver,”board member Deborah Baughman added.
Lynn was named to the board earlier inthe meeting. The mother of three daughtersin Okemos schools was one of six finalistsfor the post and one of 15 who applied.
Lynn, who succeeds Mary Graham, willserve until Dec. 31, 2011. If she decides toseek re-election, she will have to do so inNovember 2011.

It’s that time again –Election Day is on the hori-zon.
With a new governor toelect and many other officesto fill, local election officialsexpect plenty of company at
area polling places.Requests for absentee
ballots in both East Lansingand Meridian Township sub-stantially higher than ex-pected, but the total turnoutNov. 2 will probably be sim-ilar to past gubernatorialelections, say local electionofficials.
Two campus precinctshave changed in East Lan-sing. Students who previ-ously voted in Brody nowgo to Butterfield; studentsvoted in Owen GraduateCenter are now voting inShaw Hall.

East Lansing City Clerk Nicole Evanssaid requests for absentee ballots havebeen “surprisingly” high, with 1,868 request-ed, well above the 1,500 on the city’s perma-nent list.
There were 3,500 absentee ballots issuedfor the presidential election in 2008.
But in a sign people may be taking theirtime to decide, only 47 percent of ballotshave been returned, compared to the nor-mal tally of 90 percent returned.
The traditional turnout for a guberna-torial election in East Lansing has beenaround 45 percent – or 12,000 of the city’sregistered voters – and Evans said she’s“not expecting much more”.
Her office will be open from 9 a.m. to 2p.m. Saturday, Oct. 30 to issue and acceptabsentee ballots. Absentee ballots must beobtained by 4 p.m. Monday, Nov. 1, but Ev-ans said if they are obtained on Mondaythey must be voted in person.
All absentee ballots obtained on Satur-day must be returned by 8 p.m. on ElectionDay. Forgot where to vote? Go to theNov. 2, 2010 General Election link on the
city’s web site to find information aboutpolling places and see a sample ballot.
Meridian vote
Meridian Township Deputy Clerk JoanHorvath will also keep office hours from 9a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, and will alsoissue absentee ballots until 4 p.m. Monday.
When Meridian Township voters arriveat their precincts, they will be greeted by alittle high technology – a laptop that takesthe place of the precinct list.
The precinct workers can scan a voter’sdriver’s license and bring up their record, orthey may enter a person’s last name manu-ally.
Carrying your license with you to thepolls “would be faster”, Horvath said.
Horvath said the lap tops were issuedand paid for by the state of Michigan, andwere first used in August as a dry run forthe general election. Individual communi-ties are using the lap tops on a voluntarybasis.
Meridian Township has also seen de-mand for absentee ballots with 4,600 re-quests, almost 50 percent higher than theirpermanent file of 3,200.

Laser Skin Tightening
A minimally invasive, non-surgical process that uses an infrared light source to tighten
skin by heating the collagen under the skin’s surface, causing the skin to tighten.
Facial skin tightening is noticeable immediately after the treatment, and there is no
downtime, making this an increasingly popular procedure.Additional skin
tightening occurs over the next few months, but optimal results usually
require two or three treatments about a month apart.

EAST LANSING – If you’re acertain age, you know all aboutwhat “A Spoonful of Sugar” cando.
And if you are a certain age,you’re also one of two things – Ea-ger to see “Mary Poppins” again,or excited to share the magic withthe next generation.
Mid-Michigan theatergoers willhave plenty of chances to do soover the next three weeks, as atouring cast of the show based onthe beloved 1964 Disney film star-ring Julie Andrews as the imperi-ous nanny touches down in EastLansing.
The production will inhabit theCobb Great Hall of the WhartonCenter for Performing Arts begin-ning Thursday, Nov. 4 and continu-ing through Sunday, Nov. 21.
And although actress BlytheWilson isn’t a mother in real life,the Vancouver, B.C. native be-lieves she understands her charac-
ter, Winifred Banks, fairly well.In the musical, the mother of
Jane and Michael is a former ac-tress who tries to keep pace withher banker husband’s social circle.
“I think there is a lot of me inWinifred, and that might be tunedto why I’m playing the role andhow I got the role. She is a con-summate optimist; she is an op-timist about her situation. She’sconstantly trying to support herhusband and her family, and seethe good side of things,” Wilsonsaid.
“There will be a light at the endof the tunnel, and it will all workout. She always understands, andshe believes her family is most im-portant. (She) has a good head onher shoulders and knows what it’sall about. She gently supports herhusband, and doesn’t meddle orget in the way of things.”
Wilson is a veteran actressin Canada, having most recently
starred as the Baroness in AndrewLloyd Webber’s Toronto produc-tion of “The Sound of Music”.
Wilson and her husband, MarkHarapiak, live in Toronto, whereboth are working actors.
Not the movie
Wilson says she was a fan ofthe movie as a youngster, with aspecial appreciation for the char-acter of Mary. “I love the idea that(Mary) is a catalyst who’s comeinto the family,” Wilson said.
The chance to audition forthe show made her dust off themovie, which was an unexpectedpleasure.
“It’s really fun to rewatch it asan adult and rediscover all themagical details in it,” Wilson said.
Once she got the part in themusical, though, the productionteam didn’t let them see the stageshow right away. When they didget to see the show, it wasn’t quite
what they expected.“It’s not a kids’ show like mov-
ie was; our show is quite differentfrom the movie. I rather think it’sa show for people of all ages,”Wilson said.
“It deals with a family caughtin the middle of chaos, then awoman arriving in house putsa calm over the house, teachesthe children beautiful lessons andthey (all) find peace.”
‘Mary Poppins’ show not just for children
Blythe Wilson, a Canadian actress, says she easily identifieswith the lead role of Winifred Banks.

Last year, she attendedthe FBI National Academyin Quantico, Va.
“Deputy Chief Liebler isa long-term officer with theEast Lansing Police Depart-ment. She clearly under-stands the operations of thedepartment, and has beeninvolved in most of the re-
cent planning sessions formajor events in the city,”East Lansing Mayor VictorLoomis said.
“She is a dedicated policeofficer and works tirelesslyin performing her responsi-bilities, and I will be mostcomfortable and supportiveof her leadership during this
interim period of time.”Throughout the month of
November, city manager TedStaton will hold a series ofmeetings with university andcommunity groups, as wellas with groups of police andcity employees.
The forums’ intent is todevelop the profile of the

BEFORE AFTER
Last year I was walking in old town and walkedby Dreammaker Bath & Kitchen and decided towalk in and talk to someone about my kitchen,said Florence Schrauben. Michael Fischer who isthe local franchise owner of DreamMaker Bath &Kitchen of Lansing really impressed me with ourconversation and how he was able to answer allmy questions. After talking to Michael, Florenceand her husband Tony started thinking about allthe possibilities they could do in their kitchen.
Tony and Florence were celebrating their 30th wedding anniversary and decided to update their kitchen instead of going on avacation. They both enjoy spending time together cooking in their kitchen and thought the money would be best spent on a newkitchen. “We were looking for a designer’s perspective and to increase the functionality of the kitchen. Mike took everything wetalked about and made suggestions that we had not thought of and the result was a better kitchen”.
DreamMaker started work in May and inished in June. “The focal point in our kitchen is the stove.We have people over and cantalk to them while we are cooking. People are always blown away about our new kitchen and how it looks so much bigger withoutincreasing the size” Florence explained. They also increased our countertop space by 25% Tony says.
Florence and Tony were able to pick out everything right at DreamMaker. From samples of product to color of everything that wentinto the kitchen, they had it all says Florence. Mike was very professional and helpful with the budget restraints as Tony did all thedemo work to help save some money. After Tony was done with the demo the Dreammaker crew came in to do the rest.
The Schrauben’s got a chance to know the workers and appreciate all the work that went into making their kitchen a beautiful andmore functional space. The DreamMaker crew was all very professional from Mike with designs to Mark and Marcus with thecarpentry to Tammy in the ogce. The communication was always there on site and in the ogce. They always listened to what wewanted, Florence states.
All DreamMaker employees are pre-screened and follow a code of values to ensure your family iscomfortable while work is being done in your home. For example, DreamMaker employees wearfoot coverings and clean up the job site after each work day. They also plan the projectin advance so both homeowners and workers know what will take place and who toexpect in the home. DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen coordinates the job from start toinish and strives to complete the job in the estimated time, if not sooner.
To start realizing your dream of a new kitchen, bath or any other room in yourhome, Visit the DreamMaker Team at their beautiful showroom in Lansing’shistoric old town at 1236-A Turner St, Lansing, Mi 48906 You can contactDreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Lansing at 517-374-0041.Learn more by logging onto www.dreammakerlansing.com. 1236-A Turner St. Lansing, MI 48906

Two candidates are seeking a partial termending Dec. 31, 2012 that was vacated July 10with the resignation of Robert McDonough.Candidates Deborah Baughman and DamianFisher each answered three questions.
Q :What is the single biggestissue facing your school
district? How would you resolve it?
BAUGHMAN — The biggest issue fac-ing Okemos Public Schools is to maintainquality educational facilities, to continue tooffer challenging curriculum,and to retain a dedicated andtalented staff and faculty inthe face of further and fur-ther cuts.
I do not have an answer asto how to resolve this issue.All citizens (not just boardmembers and/or those whohave a personal investment)need to make our legislatorsaware of how the “crisis” in educational fund-ing is impacting our children, our schoolsand our community.
FISHER — The status quo is the biggestissue facing this school district, and my verycandidacy demonstrates the kind of changethat will move this district securely into thefuture as a leader and innovator.
Diversity is the engine of change. We needto start that engine and get it running be-cause we need to get moving quickly to stayahead of the pack and give our children thequality education they deserve.
Diversity is about expanding perspectiveto “see” solutions that aren’t apparent other-wise. Diversity is about embracing change,divesting fear and accepting the differencesthat only seem to separate us.
Diversity is about faith; it’s about believ-ing that every parent in Okemos wants ev-ery child in Okemos to succeed. Diversitysmiles when facing change because it rec-ognizes the opportunity inherent in its chal-lenges and the hope that change is progressto greater understanding to the benefit of allstakeholders.
My candidacy is about choosing choiceover status quo, and recognizing the value ofour community’s diversity.
Q :What is one program youwould cut, if it meant the
difference in keeping a school open?
BAUGHMAN — I don’t believe there isany program that would be equivalent to aschool closing. With approximately 85 per-cent of our budget being staffing, and onlygrades K-4 separated into different buildings,our staffing in our schools is about as effi-cient as it can get.
FISHER — One cut, one school is falselogic. If one cut would fix this district it seems
that we would have stumbled onto that onecut and been saved long ago given every-thing that’s been cut over thelast 5 years!
Cuts won’t save schools;innovation in the way we de-liver educational services willsave us all. We must change.We must move away fromwhat isn’t working and buildon our successes. We mustencourage creativity from ourteachers, support purpose-driven professional development and swingthe doors wide open to institutionalize pa-rental participation.
We must craft policy that incentivizes effi-ciencies in learning among students, increas-es productivity among administrators, andrewards innovation among teachers. The so-lution for success isn’t about cutting any-thing, it’s about spending well and addingvalue from the diversity of resources thatare available all around us and are waiting tobe engaged.
Q :How would you resolve thedistrict’s financial issues?
BAUGHMAN — I, as one board mem-ber, cannot resolve the district’s financial is-sues. As a school board of seven memberswe cannot resolve the financial issues.
Based on the recommendations of ouradministration, with community input as totheir priorities, I commit to always keeping
what is in the best interest of our students inmind as we work through our budget.
FISHER — First it must be said thatour financial issues are not the result ofsomething someone did or didn’t do. Shrink-ing revenues, higher costs and resistance tochange faces every district in the state. Weexpect a lot from our district personnel andwe have high standards for our schools be-cause we want our children to succeed.
But the problems cannot be laid at thefeet of district personnel, and the burden ofthese high standards and even higher expec-tations cannot be met by cutting servicesto cut costs. Leadership is knowing what iswithin our control and having the will to actdecisively.
Change is the best first step we can takeas a district. We must recognize that realchange is not a top-down proposition: aninnovative superintendent, the best admin-istrators and teachers can’t effect changealone. Parents must elect a school boardthat is responsive to its constituency andembraces all of its resources without reser-vation.
We must give our parents every chance tocontribute by whatever means available; tovolunteer, to coach, to assist in classrooms,to participate in governance, to champion is-sues and causes, to express themselves andbe heard by policy makers. The Board is inthe best position to change policy, institu-tionalize volunteerism, and fully support pa-rental participation.
Two seek partial term on Okemos school boardBy DAWN [email protected]
Fisher
Baughman
Incumbent Okemos SchoolBoard member Amy Crites andSteve Vagnozzi are seeking twoopen seats, meaning both will winelection. Following are her answersto three questions:
Amy Crites
Q :What is the singlebiggest issue facing
your school district? Howwould you resolve it?
CRITES — The biggest issue,obviously, is schoolfinance and budget.We are not incontrol of our desti-ny, nor are we evenpart of discussions.It’s very difficult toplan ahead withoutknowing our finan-cial situation.
How to resolveit is the $100 million question.We need to continue to pressure
our legislators to put their moneywhere their mouths are. They allsay that education is a top priority,but it seems to be the first thing toget cut.
Q :What is one programyou would cut, if it
meant the difference inkeeping a school open?
CRITES — My priority wouldbe to keep cuts out of classrooms,away from kids. Each member ofthe Okemos Education Communi-ty contributes to the success of ourdistrict.
With that said, it would be dif-ficult to eliminate any services orprograms. Non-essential programsand/or services would be on the listof considerations.
Q :How would youresolve the district’s
financial issues?CRITES — Because school dis-
tricts have very little direct controlover their budgets, I’m not surewhat the answer is. Retirementfunding and per pupil allocations
are set by the state. We have alreadycut nearly $10 million from ourbudget over the past eight years,increased revenues through collab-oration with neighboring districts,selling property and grant writing.
We’ve closed two elementaryschools. We’ve eliminated jobs fromthe top of the pay scale to the bot-tom. We have asked our employ-ees for concessions. But it’s neverenough.
Steve Vagnozzi“I have been in-
volved with theOkemos PublicSchools since myoldest daughter be-gan kindergarten in1993. My twodaughters graduat-ed from OkemosHigh School in 2006and 2009, and myson is currently a sophomore. Ihave served the school district asthe Citizens’ Millage Committeetreasurer, a Technology Commit-tee member, a Junior Achievement
Elementary School Economics &Business Education instructor andan elementary school computer labvolunteer.
“My primary goal is to provideall students with an adaptive edu-cation that best fits their varying ca-pabilities and interests. I would liketo promote efforts to restore ac-cess to high school elective classesthat were reduced by the currentgraduation standards mandated bythe State of Michigan.
I’m concerned about the futureimpact on society when studentsgraduate with limited exposure tosubjects other than the core aca-demic subjects of math, science,English and social studies. I wouldlike to explore the option of intra-mural sports at the high school lev-el, especially sports with limitedteam slots, as a means of providingadditional physical education op-portunities for students.
My 30-plus years of informationtechnology and analytical experi-ence will allow me to pragmaticallystudy district operations with thegoal of refining district operations
to increase efficiency. I would liketo utilize the recent technology up-grades to improve communicationwith district stakeholders. The dis-trict faces a dire budget picture be-cause our financial reserves havebeen drained over the years tocontinue programs despite reducedmonetary support from the state.
The district will no longer havethis option in the upcoming 2011-12school year because the reservesbalance is so low. I believe that cleri-cal, operational and other functionsthat support classroom teachingcannot be cut further without di-rectly affecting educational quali-ty. As a result, the district needsto find creative options to increasethe efficiency of classroom teach-ing.
I am a creative problem solverwho believes in gathering inputfrom multiple sources before mak-ing a decision. I have set upthe email account [email protected] for the public to sendme their ideas to help me functioneffectively as a school board mem-ber.”

EAST LANSING — Con-gregation Shaarey Zedekbrings the band The Afro-Se-mitic Experience for a JazzSabbath service on Friday,Nov. 5 at 7:30 p.m.
The group will join Can-tor Pamela Schiffer and Rab-bi Amy Bigman in worshipand will present a specialSermon-in-Song.
The synagogue is locatedat 1924 Coolidge Road inEast Lansing. The service isopen to the public and freeof charge.
The Afro-SemiticExperience is a band of Af-rican-American and Jewish-American musicians who arededicated to preserving, pro-moting and expanding therich cultural and musical her-itage of the Jewish and Afri-can Diasporas.
They present interpreta-tions of music from the richtraditions of our two cul-tures: Gospel, Klezmer, Ni-gunim, Spirituals, Bebop andSwing.
In performance they alsoframe the music, telling sto-ries about what the piecesmean, how they relate to usas individual members of thecommunity, and how they re-flect upon the relations be-tween Blacks and Jews.
For the past 12 years, Af-
rican-American jazz pianistWarren Byrd, and Jewish-American jazz bassist DavidChevan have been playinganywhere they can: Com-munity centers, college,churches, synagogues andvillage greens: giving con-certs, workshops, and partic-ipating in worship servicesacross the United States.
Their music is an intri-cate tapestry of their distinctcultures and heritages anddelivers a positive and mean-ingful message about Black-Jewish relations.
They weave stories andmusic together as they in-terpret and explain piecesfrom the Jewish and African-American sacred traditions.
In 1998, Chevan and Byrdfounded The Afro-SemiticExperience, a band thatwould expand their creativeand spiritual mission.
The Afro-Semitic Experi-ence expresses a religiousand political message. Theirmusic is a politically chargedand spiritually centered cryfor peace, world wide spir-itual unity and communica-tion.

“Noises Off” is a hilariousplay within a play, takinga fond look at the folliesof theater folk, whose sus-ceptibility to out-of-controlegos, memory loss and pas-sionate affairs turn every per-formance into a high-riskadventure.
Chad Dekatch, director,said, “This is one of the mosthigh energy shows I haveever directed. To say it is
OHS to bring comedy,‘Noises off ” to stage
Okemos High School Drama will perform MichaelFrayn’s “Noises Off” in their auditorium as theirfirst production of their 2010-2011 season. Picturedare: Evan Hertafeld, Eddy Mayes, Nico Pigg, AriHelgesen, Sarah Bence, Reina Guthrie, Landon Cally,Emily McKay and Logan Kilpela.

fast-paced is an understate-ment. “Noises Off” does notrely on big musical numbersor elaborate set changes. In-stead it uses witty dialogueand intricate blocking thatonly the most dedicated ofcasts can pull off.
“This show is for anyonewho has had anything to dowith a theater production,from cast to crew to audi-ence member. It is sure tobe a highlight of the OkemosDrama program.”
Performances are at 7p.m. Nov. 4, 5 and 6 in theOkemos High School audito-rium.
Tickets are $5. Orderforms can be downloadedfrom the school’s Web siteat www.okemosschools.net
and follow the high schoollink.
Tickets will be on saleat the high school Mondaythrough Friday during alllunches (11:30 a.m.-12:30p.m.) Nov. 1-5. Tickets arealso available at the door be-fore performances.
The plot tells of an ambi-tious director and his troupeof mediocre actors. The castand crew are putting togethera silly comedy titled, “Noth-ing On,” a dual-set farce inwhich couples frolic, doorsslam, sardines are tossed,
and embarrassing hi-jinksensue.Most of the comedyemerges from the subtle vari-ations in each version as off-stage chaos affects on-stageperformance, with a greatdeal of slapstick.
The contrast betweenplayers’ on-stage and off-stage personalities is also asource of comic dissonance.Frayn weaves a complicatedchain of events that is justconvoluted enough to be hi-lariously funny to watch.

EAST LANSING — TheEast Lansing Police De-partment has received nu-merous tips about theattempted kidnapping onOct. 13 a 12-year-old EastLansing girl walking toschool.
East Lan-sing Lt. BillMitchell saidthe investi-gation, beingoverseen byDet. JamesPhelps, hadreceived 48tips as ofOct. 22.Mitchell saidofficersformed an in-house taskforce to investigate all tipsand leads.
Police received a coupleof tips that were “goodphysical matches” to thecomposite drawingreleased by the department,but Mitchell said all tips re-ceived were cleared by of-ficers.
The suspect is identifiedas a white, heavy set malein his 40s with brown shag-gy hair and a beer belly. Thesuspect was wearing blacksweatpants and a black t-shirt at the time of the at-
tempted abduction.Police said the girl was
walking by herself to herschool bus stop about 7:45a.m. near the intersectionof Sunset and Northlawnwhen she noticed she wasbeing followed.
When she turned the cor-ner at the intersection, theman stopped his car, gotout and “demanded” she getinto the car, police said.
“She said ‘no’ and ranaway,” police said.
The investigation is con-tinuing, although Mitchellsaid the volume of tipshas decreased. Anyone withinformation about the at-tempted kidnapping shouldcall (517) 351-4220 or877-ELPD-TIP.
AssaultOther recent incidents in-
cluded the following:An assault victim was
transported to the hospitalafter an incident near down-town East Lansing.
Just after midnight Oc-tober 24, officers were dis-patched to the 400 block ofM.A.C. on a report of a fight.Mitchell said it was initiallyreported the victim had beenpushed off a balcony, butthat turned out not to be the
case.The victim told investi-
gasting officers he had beenrobbed and attacked by agroup of black males.
The man had just lefthis house when he wasattacked, he told officers,and the men took his cellphone. The victim was bleed-ing from his nose and mouthand complained of extremepain, and was transported toa local hospital.
Meanwhile, Mitchell saidseveral suspects were takeninto custody after – at aboutthe same time – their vehiclestalled in the same block asthe assault.
Officers already at thescene were able to detainthree men based on physicalevidence and clothing, andthe victim’s phone was foundin the vehicle.
Three suspects werequestioned and released, butnot before officers were ableto obtain the identification ofthe assailant. A warrant willbe sought for that person’sarrest, Mitchell said.
Armed robberyAnother victim recently
escaped injury after beingrobbed at knifepoint.
At 12:32 a.m. Oct. 20,
police were called to thescene of an armed robberyin the 100 block of Stod-dard. The victim reportedhaving walked from theMSU Library to a friend’shome on Stoddard, andwhile walking on GrandRiver he passed a blackmale on a bike.

The exhibit will be displayed Nov. 7 –Dec. 1 on the second floor of the Hannah Center.
Ojala will feature her paintings and creative artworkthat make the viewers look, think and feel.
“Art is a very healing medium! My art ishealing both for myself as the creator, and formy viewers. Many of my art pieces speak tothe unconscious,” says Ojala. “
“Thanks to a background in clinical psy-chology, my paintings have what I call anemotional hook that brings out my viewers’emotions in my artwork. I go for very evoca-tive paintings, and I try to find some way torelate to my viewers.”

OKEMOS - Senior Tom Kee-noy hoisted the Meridian Bowltrophy above his head as theOkemos student cheering sec-tion rushed the field and joinedin the celebration.
Keenoy was one of the Chief-tains’ starting offensive linementhat paved the way for a dom-inant rushing attack, leadingOkemos to a 14-7 victory overHaslett in a CAAC crossovergame on Oct. 22 at Okemos.
The Chieftains ran for 172yards to just 27 for the Vikingsyards as they dominated the lineof scrimmage and regained con-trol of the Meridian Bowl for thefirst time since 2007.
“That was exciting, our kidswere cranked up for this one,”Okemos coach Paul Palmer said.“They set out goals at the begin-ning of the season and one of thegoals was to win the MeridianBowl.
“But give Haslett a lot of cred-it as well. They are a good foot-ball team, so it’s always nice toget a win over a team like that.”
Okemos looked dominant inthe first half as it took an early
7-0 lead on a double-reverse trickplay, which ended with a 31-yardtouchdown catch by Dan Emm-erich from Spencer Bonofiglio.
After exchanging punts forthe majority of the second quar-ter, Okemos was able to closeout the half with an eight-play63-yard drive, capped by a 5-yardtouchdown run by Evan Leski,giving the Chieftains a 14-0 lead.
Leski finished with 95 yards rush-ing on 15 carries, while juniorquarterback Jonny Bolas added70 yards on the ground.
“We said it in pregame, thatwe had to go out there and winthis game at the line of scrim-mage,” Bolas said. “We’ve alwaysbeen a run- first team ... that’sjust what we do.”
Haslett strikesHowever, Haslett quickly got
back into the game with a quickstart in the second half. Vikingssenior quarterback Zach Porritttook over under center in thesecond half after starter AdamForen was forced out with aninjury. Porritt responded by hit-ting senior Jake Schaibly for a70-yard touchdown pass on thirdquarter.
“When you have an opportu-nity to put a senior back in whenyou lose a kid like that, we feltpretty good about that,” Haslettcoach Charlie Otlewski said. “Hehas a strong arm, and we knowthat he can do some things for usoffensively.”
The Okemos defense, howev-er, stiffened from there, holdingPorritt to just one more comple-tion and stopping the Vikings ona critical fourth down late in thefourth quarter to preserve thewin.
Okemos finished its season5-4 for its first winning record
since 2007.The Chieftains did have an
outside chance at a playoff bid,but were not selected during lastweeks MHSAA playoff show.

EAST LANSING — Mado Glew hashad numerous top finishes throughoutthis year’s girl’s cross-country season,but non bigger then Thursday’s CAACBlue league meet.
East Lansing’s freshman standoutfinished with a career-best time of 19:19,which was the top individual time over-all at the meet.
She also helped lead the way to afirst place finish for her team in the
process.“I was really nervous going into the
meet because it was such a big, impor-tant meet for everyone,” Glew said. “Iknew that if I just focused on runningthe best that I possibly could, then ev-erything would work out o.k.”
While Glew had posted some verygood times throughout her first yearrunning for the Trojans, she was still alittle taken back when she was the firstrunner to cross the finish line.
“I was shocked. I didn’t expect thatat all,” Glew said of finishing first place.
“I knew I was running good, but tobe honest, when I saw my final time Iwasn’t expecting that either.”
While Glew took first place on thegirl’s side, her brother, Robbie, who isa senior at East Lansing, also took firstplace on the boy’s side.
He helped lead the Trojan boy’s teamto a second place finish overall.
“That was really exciting for both ofus, the fact that we got to share some-thing like that,” Mado Glew said. “It wasfun for everyone in my family to be apart of that.”

OKEMOS- Okemos’league opponents have re-alized that this years Chief-tains team is filled withyouth and inexperience,and this could be the sea-son that their CAAC Bluetitle streak comes to anend.
Halle Thom, LindsayGreenberg and the rest ofthe Okemos varsity volley-ball team showed on Tues-day, Oct. 26 just why thatmight not be the case.
Thom recorded fouraces and 11 kills, whileGreenberg added 11 digsas Okemos defeated CAACBlue foe Holt 3-1 (25-19,25-22, 12-25, 25-14) at
Okemos High.“We blocked well, hit
well, and really communi-cated very well as a teamtonight,” Greenberg said.“We are a very young team,but it is amazing to see howhuge our improvement hasbeen from August to wherewe are at right now.”
Senior Hannah Hoffmanhad seven blocks and Berk-
leigh Brogan chipped in29 assists for Okemos(20-11-2).
Okemos volleyball team rides victory crestBy SEAN [email protected]
With the victory, theChieftains improved to 9-2in the CAAC Blue, andput themselves within onegame of league-leadingGrand Ledge, who wasscheduled to play Holt onThursday last week.
Due to press deadlines,that score was not avail-able on time.
The Chieftains lost twoleague games earlier in theyear against Grand Ledgeand Holt, but are currentlyriding a seven-game leaguewinning streak.
“I’m really excited aboutthe way we’ve been playinglately,” Okemos coach Ja-mie Ianni said.
“We’ve been concen-trating on not giving up
any type of momentumshifts, because when we dothat we begin to panic attimes because we’re such ayoung team.”
There was no panic inthe Chieftains Tuesdaynight as they closed out thefirst two sets, and then af-ter losing the third, domi-nated the final set.
However, according toGreenberg, there is stillroom to grow as the Chief-tains approach the start ofthe district playoffs.
“We have to continueto communicate even bet-ter… that always helps,”Greenberg said. “It will bethe key thing for sure as weget ready to make a run inthe playoffs.”
“We’ve been concentrating on not giving up any type of
momentum shifts, because when we do that we begin to
panic at times because we’re such a young team.”
