As we approach the end of 2011, your Open Space Committee felt it was time to give the residents of Grosse Ile an update of the past activities of your committee, and the current status of the Open Space Program.

The narrative, which fol-lows outlines events of the past year, and the things we are doing to ensure the viability of the Open Space Program.

Past events and accomplishments

We changed the date and time of our monthly meet-ings so that more residents can attend.

We prepared a more understandable document outlining our policies and procedures. This document was formally approved by the township board.

The township board found it necessary to use $1.6 million of Open Space funds to pay a judgment involving the Grosse Ile Bridge Co. In turn, 74 acres of township-owned vacant land were transferred to the Open Space Program.

Considerable time was spent in dealing with the trail issue in an attempt to satisfy the diverse opinions of residents.

The current internal procedure we adopted in 2006 was revised and is now before the township board for formal approval to settle this issue once and for all.

Two new members were added to the committee, Pat Selby and Darryl Filarski. They replaced Margarete Hasserodt, who resigned to spend more time with her family, and Joe Esordi, who moved out of state to accept a new position.

Our thanks to Margarete and Joe for their service to our community, and to Pat and Darryl for volunteering as members of our com-mittee.

Activities in progress

The township managers office is in the negotia-tion phase of purchasing additional privately owned vacant land to be protected.

Assuming that negotia-tions are successful, there will be little funding left in the Open Space acquisition fund to buy any additional property.

The acquisition mill-age is expiring at the end of this year and has not been renewed. At the time of this article, there is $1.1million in the fund and approximately 270 acres

of privately owned vacant land in large groups of five acres or more.

We are revamping the Overseer Program to add selected residents who live adjacent to Open Space properties.

The selected residents will help our committee members do a better job of monitoring and maintain-ing these properties.

Letters are being sent to residents to volunteer for this work. If you would like to help, please contact our chairman, Cliff St. Pierre, at 1-734-675-3926 or email [email protected].

We continue to have the biannual Dump the Junk, Find the Treasure events in May and October. This action helps keep our vacant lands free of debris.

From 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Dec. 3, we will conduct, as a test case, a wood removal event on the north side of Grosse Ile Parkway between Meridian and Parke Lane.

At the conclusion of this one-time event we will do a what went right, what went wrong analysis to determine if we should continue this event and if so how it should be orga-nized.

The purpose of this action is to improve the appearance of and ability to walk through our Open Spaces at the least costs and at the same time to provide firewood for our residents.

Those who are interested must apply for a one-time permit at the Township Hall administration office by the close of business Dec. 1 and present it to

By Nicole SkehanGuest Writer

What do a ballerina who cant dance, a firework maker who works in his basement, a terrible play writer and painter, a fash-ionable religious woman, and a business man have in common?

They are just some of the characters in this years high school fall play, You Cant Take It With You.

It is very funny, witty and its going to be a great show to see, said Alex Starkey, a junior. However, it is not G rated.

The moral of this three-act show, originally by George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart, is whether

people should do what they love or what earns them the most money.

The play is about the Sycamore family a poor and seemingly mad family that works at what they love to do and the Kirby family, an unhappy, wealthy family that doesnt understand the others view on success.

When Alice Sycamore

falls in love with Tony Kirby, the two unique fami-lies must combine.

A lot of people can relate to this play, said Renee Scavone, a sopho-more.

Everyone has been embarrassed by their fam-ily.

Rehearsals for the play started Sept 26. All of the actors must be very dedi-

cated, making sure they have the time to memorize their lines and get into character.

Without the coopera-tion and devotion from the actors, the production would falter.

The hard work is worth it when you hear the applause at the end of the show, said Katy Reich, sophomore.

If you would like to support the GIHS Thespians and find out what happens to the two families in this play, come to the GIHS auditorium Nov. 18 and 19. The play will start at 7:30 p.m. and will be $6 for students, $8 for adults and $5 for senior citizens.

(Nicole Skehan is a senior at Grosse Ile High School.)

To the Editor: Thank you, Karrar family!

This is the kind of story that should be front page news in all papers. What an inspiring and proud family.

I have always thanked all our veterans and their families for their sacri-fices they have given to our country.

To find a family with all their children tied to various branches of the military is extraordinary beyond belief. They have seven children, with five of age serving in or sup-porting their spouse in the armed services.

Sarah and Ryan are in the Air Force. Bethanys husband, Chelsea and Alex are in the Navy. Kyle and Caitlin are juniors in high school. We can only guess what branch they will serve in a couple of years.

In a perfect world, if more families were cen-tered around service, honor, courage, respect, dedication and commitment to others, then maybe we wouldnt need a military.

I salute and pray for your family, Jeff and Sherel Karrar.

Invasive plants must be dealt with

To the Editor: Grosse Ile has long been a desirable place to live. An island in the mouth of the Detroit River, its residents enjoy scenic beauty, and access to water for many forms of recreation. It has long been that way.

These advantages have sustained premium prop-erty values that have sup-ported a traditionally solid tax base. This has enabled our schools to attain high levels of academic achieve-ment.

Our public safety, police and fire are exceptional. Our crime rate is low and our Fire Department sustains a level of quality seldom attained by volunteer staff.

For many years our fresh water supply has come from Detroit. The quality of our fresh water is among the best in the nation and is abundant. For many years it has been reasonably priced.

In recent times, not all would agree that manage-ment of the water supply source has been the best. Future water costs, assum-ing a sustained relationship with Detroit, are estimated to increase greatly.

Creating a new source of fresh water is a topic of recent consideration. That alternative would also require large financial sums.

Grosse Ile operates its own wastewater treatment plant that collects and pro-cesses sewage and storm drainage. Our water treat-ment facilities have func-tioned well for years.

In more recent times, growth in housing units on

THE ILE CAMERA

FAITHFellowship is offered to those who accept Lord

Just over two weeks ago I celebrated my fourth wed-ding anniversary with my best friend and wife, Megan.

We took a whole day for ourselves and spent time together doing whatever

our hearts desired. We went to a nice Italian dinner, watched a great Christian movie, took a walk in the park and just enjoyed the time with each other. We are both very active, so it was a

special treat for both of us.There is honestly noth-

ing I enjoy more than spending time with her. Throughout Gods word, he shares with us the impor-tance of unity and fellow-

ship on all different levels.Going all the way back to

the first of Gods word in Genesis 2:18, it says: And the Lord God said, It is not good that man should be alone, I will make him a helper comparable to him.

Even at the very begin-ning God himself saw our need for fellowship and unity with others. He blesses us with wives and husbands, children, parents, siblings, etc.

Notice when our savior and Lord Jesus Christ taught his disciples how to pray in Matthew 6:9-13, he said Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done on Earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.

Even in our prayers we should have each other on in mind because fellowship and unity are so important.

God offers us true fellow-ship, but its only offered to those who accept Jesus Christ as savior and Lord.

The fellowship we have with one another comes after our fellowship with him. 1 John 1:3 tell us that true fellowship with one another comes from having true fellowship with God the Father and Jesus Christ.

The only relationships that truly last lifetimes are relationships founded in Jesus Christ.

Oftentimes we look to other people to fill a void in our hearts and lives that only Jesus Christ can fill, then we wonder why the

relationship falls apart.We hope that we can fill

the void with a girl or a boy, but dont feel the joy we hoped for. Its exciting for a little while then the excite-ment just fades away.

We make lots of friends hoping to feel fulfilled, but we instead feel more emptiness. We surround ourselves with all kinds of people but wonder why we feel so alone.

You need Jesus Christ.Having a husband or

wife is a great blessing, but

the marriage needs Jesus Christ at the center to hold it together. Friends and family are so important, but Jesus Christ needs to be your foundation.

Do you want true, life-long fellowship and unity? Accept Jesus Christ as Lord and savior and put him at the center your relation-ships. Nothing will be able to break that bound.

Relationships held togeth-er by humans can be broken by humans, but if its held together by the strength of Jesus Christ, nothing and no one can separate you.

If you do not know Jesus Christ as savior and Lord or youre not sure if you do and you want to, heres what

you need to know.Romans 3:23: All have

sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. That means you. You have sinned and it hurts and offends a glorious, perfect and holy God.

Romans 6:23: The wages of sin is death. When we break the law we deserve punishment; we know that. When we sin we deserve death, judgment and hell.

Wage is what our actions earn. When you work eight hours you deserve eight hours pay; thats your wage. When we sin what do we deserve? Hell. Thats where we should go and will go apart from Jesus Christs grace.

But Romans 6:23 goes on to say that the gift of God is eternal life in Jesus Christ our Lord.

A gift, by the way, is some-thing you get that someone else paid for. Jesus Christ paid for your sin and now calls you out of it. He died for you, was buried and came back from the dead for

SOUTHGATE The main reason a new bridge between Detroit and Windsor is still on the drawing board is because of opposition from the owner of the Ambassador Bridge.

Thats what state Rep. Douglas Geiss (D-Taylor) told a crowd Monday at the Southern Wayne County Regional Chambers Legislative Forum at Crystal Gardens.

Geiss was one of four state represen-tatives who spoke.

He stressed the importance of anoth-er international bridge for Michigans economy, and for the economy of North America. Being an engineer, Geiss said, he fully understands the condition of the more than 80-year-old Ambassador Bridge, which he said is overused and in bad shape.

Democrats and Republicans want to see a new bridge linking Canada and the United States completed, he said.

Manuel Matty Moroun is the owner of the Ambassador Bridge.

Lies are being put out by Moroun, Geiss said concerning the ads Morouns Detroit International Bridge Co. has paid for in his attacks against the proposal for a new bridge. Your tax dollars are not on the line for the bridge.

Geiss also said maintenance on the bridge later on would not fall on tax-payers.

Its going to happen, he said about the bridge. After its done, itll be clear who was misleading the public.

State Rep. Paul Clemente (D-Lincoln Park) spoke on what government has done for him. He used examples ranging from nuclear and electronic power to bathrooms and the removal of sewage and waste.

Government solves many vexing problems, he said.Clemente was asked about how Downriver could be

turned into a tourist destination with the help of the Pure Michigan campaign. Clemente said the challenge comes from Detroit always having been a center for industry.

State Rep. Andrew Kandrevas (D-Southgate) was asked about anti-bullying legislation. Its an issue people are con-cerned with, he said, and Lansing cannot be slow to respond.

I did not think the bill went too far, he said.Kandrevas also touched on issues such as insurance

reform and the positive outcome of congressional redistrict-ing that gives U.S. Rep. John Dingell (D-15th District) more

Symphony tryoutsThe 90-member Henry

Ford Community College Metropolitan Symphony Band is the largest commu-nity college concert band in Michigan.

Membership includes traditional HFCC music students, advanced place-ment high school students, students from neighboring universities, and adult mem-bers of all ages throughout southeast Michigan.

HFCC is currently seek-ing talented musicians interested in trying out for this symphony. This is an opportunity to reunite with musicianship, as well as a chance for all adults young and old who played in high school and college bands to become familiar with their instrument again.

The season begins in January and concludes the first week in May.

Rehearsals take place in Room F-110 of the colleges Mackenzie Fine Arts Center on the main campus, 5101 Evergreen Road, in Dearborn.

The college provides for the use of concert band per-cussion equipment. Wind instruments are the respon-sibility of each individual band member.

A tuition cost is involved and high school juniors and seniors may receive college credit if they choose to enroll for academic credit. Another option is to enroll through the colleges Center of Life Long Learning, which requires a lesser fee.

Musicale to celebrate 80 years

When the Grosse Ile Musicale was first orga-nized in 1931 by Mrs. John Karmazin, she invited a small group of women to her home to formulate plans for a musical club.

The first official meeting of the Friday Musicale was on Jan. 15, 1932, with 56 members.

Requirements for mem-bership were to sing or play an instrument, prepare a paper on a musical topic, or work on or support finan-cially musical events the club sponsored. Men were only allowed as guests and to become a member, you had to be recommended by two current members.

Now 80 years later, the Grosse Ile Musicale invites performers from a wide range of musical talent to perform for the group on the second Friday of the month from October through May, when the scholarship win-ner performs. The by-laws have been changed to open membership to men and off-islanders.

On Nov. 18, the musicale will celebrate its anniver-sary with a luncheon at the Grosse Ile Yacht Club, featuring a performance by barbershop quartet Resisting-A-Rest.

Although the organiza-tion doesnt usually meet in January, a visiting cellist from Germany has been scheduled for Jan. 20.

On Feb. 10, Jim Parker of the Grosse Ile Presbyterian Church, will perform on the piano with various vocal-ists he coaches. A violinist with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra, Laurie Landers Goldman, is scheduled for March 9. On April 13, soprano Alana Joi Johnson Tuckey, winner of the musi-cale scholarship in 1992, will be featured.

If interested in joining the group, contact member-ship chair Lynne Swift at 1-734-671-3577.

Its going to affect us all, Kandrevas said.

The state budget was brought up, focusing on cuts to the Education and Human Services depart-ments.

State Rep. Patrick Somerville (R-Huron Twp.), the only Republican at the forum, spoke on Lansings high productiv-ity level, mentioning the job-killing business tax that is now gone under the leadership of Gov. Rick Snyder.

He also discussed educa-tion and opportunities that must be available to gradu-ating college students.

Use your photos to make personalized holiday gifts that last a lifetime

Finding that perfect holi-day gift for friends and fam-ily is always challenging. Clothes are difficult unless you know the perfect size and style. You can miss the mark on books and music if youre not intimately famil-iar with the genres that interest the recipient. One type of gift that will never go out of style is the person-al, handmade present.

While that may sound cliche, the fact is, something heartfelt created from memories new and old will almost always be more valuable to someone than something store-bought and mass-produced. The hard part is narrowing down the

list of things you can make. A good start is to recall all your favorite memories by looking through the pictures youve taken throughout the year. After all, clothes may go out of style, but photos never will so you will want pictures that will last for years to come.

How many photos do you and your family take each year? Hundreds? Thousands? Unfortunately, many of those photos end up staying stored indefi-nitely on your camera or smartphone, your hard drive or in email attach-ments. Creating great gifts

Holiday gifts dont need to be costly or store bought to have that real, warm impact. Bright, quality pictures and a little creativity are usually all you need to get the job done right at home.

Film buffs take note.The Southern Great Lakes Symphony will pres-ent a screening of Austrian-born filmmaker Fritz Langs legendary silent-era masterpiece Metropolis, with the com-plete original musical score played by a live orchestra.

The screening, set for 7:30 p.m. Saturday at the Prechter Center for the Performing Arts in Taylor, is a rare opportunity to see the film Downriver.

The orchestral accom-paniment to the film will be played by members of the Southern Great Lakes Symphony conducted by Nick Hersh from Indiana University, who made the reduction for chamber orchestra of the original Gottfried Huppertz score.

Friederich Christian Anton Fritz Lang was a filmmaker, screenwriter and an occasional film producer and actor who was one of the chief expo-nents of Germanys famous Expressionist school of film making.

He brought those tech-niques to many of the films he made in the United States after he left Germany in the 1930s.

In his early films, one

finds recurring themes of psychological conflict, para-noia, fate and moral ambi-guity all of which helped pave the way for the type of cinema known as film noir, a genre that came to fruition in the United States in 1930s and 40s.

Lang contributed some outstanding examples to the film noir genre, includ-ing Ministry of Fear, Scarlet Street, The Blue Gardenia, The Big Heat and While the City Sleeps.

His first film for the Hollywood studio system widely considered one of his finest was the 1936 crime drama Fury, star-ring Spencer Tracy as a man lynched by a mob for a crime he didnt commit. The film was an enormous critical and popular success, and let everyone know that this was a master filmmaker at work.

Although Lang tried to adapt to the Hollywood sys-tem and its production meth-ods, he constantly was stifled and frustrated by the system, and he eventually came to dislike Hollywood as much as it disliked him.

Moreover, he was black-listed during the McCarthy era for his collaborations with known Communists, and eventually returned

Southern Great Lakes Symphony to play at showing of silent lm

Metropolis

Fritz Langs 1927 silent lm Metropolis considered a cinematic masterpiece by many lm scholars will have a rare showing Saturday in Taylor. The Southern Great Lakes Symphony will accompany the lm by playing its original score.

to Germany in 1956, disil-lusioned by the entire Hollywood scene.

He made only two films there, both of which were failures, and in 1962 he sadly returned to Hollywood. He remained there in poor health and reclusive retire-ment until his death from a massive stroke in 1976.

Problematic, difficult and controversial though he was, he still is regarded as one of the most accom-plished and influential film directors of the 20th century.

Metropolis, completed and first shown in Berlin in 1927, is a quasi-science fiction film that would be the precursor to such later efforts as The Bride of Frankenstein, Dr. Strangelove, Blade Runner and the Star Wars saga.

Made at a time of serious hyperinflation in Germany, it proved to be the most expensive silent film ever made, and came perilously close to bankrupting the studio that had commis-sioned it. In modern dollars, it would have cost about $200 million. Following luke-warm reviews and disap-pointing box office receipts, drastic cuts were made to the film, chopping about an hour off its original run-ning time of two hours, 33 minutes.

This was done primarily because theater managers in the United States and Europe were unwilling to show any film no matter how good it might be that ran longer than 90 minutes.

As a result of the cuts, virtually nobody outside of Berlin saw Metropolis as Lang had intended, and the version shown in the United

States and Europe in 1928 was considered disjointed, illogical and ultimately incoherent. That version was a critical and popular disaster, and as a result, the original version simply disappeared, and for more than 50 years was believed to have been lost forever.

Over the years, diligent film scholars and research-ers managed to unearth bits and pieces of the original, and in 2001, a 75th anniversary restoration was shown at the Berlin International Film Festival.

Using stills and inter-titles to cover missing footage, this version ran just a bit more than two

hours, and was thought to be as close to the original as possible. It also restored the colorful and dramatic original full-orchestra score by Huppertz, a German composer.

In 2008, a copy of what appeared to be the original version was discovered in the archives of the Museum of Cinema in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Copies of the full original film were unearthed at about the same time in New Zealand and Australia.

As a result of those discoveries, a final ver-sion was shown in 2010 in Berlin, Europe and the United States.

Just a few scenes, total-ing about eight minutes, are not in the ultimate restoration because they were missing or too badly damaged.

Fans and scholars of the silent-film era consider the find akin to finding the cinematic equivalent of the Holy Grail.

Tickets are $25. For more information about the screening, visit www.sgls.org or call the orchestra office at 1-734-246-2890.

The Prechter Center for the Performing Arts is on Wayne County Community College Districts Downriver campus, 21000 North Line Road.

The Grosse Ile football team and its fans celebrate after last Saturdays MHSAA Division 4 regional playoff victory over Penneld High School in Battle Creek. Find more on the Penneld game and a preview of tomorrows state seminal game against Marine City beginning on Page 30-A.

The MHSAA State Playoffs


By Scott HeldHeritage Media

Grosse Ile outgained host Battle Creek Pennfield and won the turnover battle last Saturday afternoon, but there the Devils were in the final minute, facing the end of the season.

But like so many other times in this postseason, everything went Grosse Iles way when it needed it most.

The Panthers tried a half-back pass on fourth down from the Devils 5-yard line but the ball was over-thrown,

The visitors got it back and ran out the clock to extend a magic run at least another week.

The 18-13 victory landed Grosse Ile a Division 4 regional title and left them a win away from a berth in the state-title game.

The Devils (10-2) will face Marine City at 1 p.m. tomor-row at Birmingham Groves in a semifinal. The winner earns a trip to Ford Field for the Nov. 25 state champi-onship game.

Comstock Park and Zeeland West meet in the other Division 4 semfinal.

`The Devils churned out 295 yards but the defense saved the day after keep-ing Pennfields full-house backfield in check most of the day.

Our defense won us the game, hands down, Coach John Bodner said. They were tough, too. At this point in the season, youre not going to play any chumps.

Its amazing how this team has come together.

Pennfield started from its own 15 with less than five minutes to play but drove

FOOTBALL PLAYOFFS

deep into Grosse Ile terri-tory before the fateful play.

Quarterback Nicolas Acton flipped the ball to Nathan Wallace, who overthrew a receiver in the back of the end zone to set off the Devils victory celebration.

It was crazy, said junior linebacker Keeton Ross, who had seven tack-les and recovered a fumble to kill a Pennfield drive. We had to come together as a team and make a stop and we did it and won regionals.

At the start, the game didnt appear to be des-tined for such a dramatic ending.

Grosse Ile started the game at its own 20 and needed nine plays to get on the board. After five first downs, Alex Kish scored the first of his three touch-downs on an 8-yard sweep but Brett Sassacks point-after try was blocked.

A Jordan Nellenbach interception late in the first quarter started a drive that reached the Pennfield 8, but a fourth-down pass was unsuccessful.

Another Pennfield mis-cue, a bad punt snap, gave Grosse Ile the ball deep in Panthers territory and Kish cashed in the chance with a 4-yard push.

The two-point conver-

sion pass failed and Pennfield seized the momentum.

A 59-yard drive ended with Cole Whitneys 10-yard scoring sweep and missed extra-point sent the Devils to intermission with a 12-6 lead.

Acton found Roy Herpin with a screen pass on the first play of the third quarter and the diminutive tailback raced away for a 60-yard touchdown. A suc-cessful point-after gave the hosts their only lead.

But Grosse Ile answered quickly.

Kish burst away on a 61-yard run on the ensuing drive to put the Devils deep

in Pennfield territory and ended it two plays later with a 12-yard touchdown run off an option pitch from quarterback Rob White.

Two officials signaled a successful two-point con-version but another came from far from the play to waive it off.

But it never mattered thanks to the defense, which allowed only 164 rushing yards and sur-rendered 101 passing yards 91 of which came on plays opened by missed assignments.

We had to play (Monroe St. Mary Catholic Central) during the year and it was

kind of the same kind of offense, Ross said. We played a great game.

Pennfield Coach Nick Koenigsknecht agreed.

Grosse Ile had a great game plan and it really was an even game, he said. Defensively, they hit us.

We gave ourselves a chance at the end but Grosse Ile stepped up and we came up short.

Wallace had 63 yards on 15 carries and Whitney added 62 on 12 tries to pace the Panthers backfield.

Kish ended the day with 156 yards on 19 carries and Nellenbach rushed for 67. White, who completed just four of his seven passes for 14 yards, ran for 56 yards.

This weekends semifinal game is as far as Grosse Iles last playoff squad advanced. DeWitt ended that run and Bodner said he knows the Devils will face a tall task when they meet Marine City.

Theyre the best team in the state right now, but were going to be ready to play, he said. This group wants to play as long as they can.

FOOTBALL PLAYOFFS

By Scott HeldHeritage Media

Grosse Ile has looked like a bunch of play-off veterans in its three postseason games.The Devils (10-2), playing

beyond a ninth game for the first time since 2004, are winning the turnover battle 9-3 and have scored 13 touch-downs while allowing six.

Its a senior-laden team that just seems to find a way to win, but all that might not be enough when it takes the field tomorrow against Marine City.

The Mariners (12-0) fin-ished the regular season ranked second among Division 4 teams and took out No. 1-ranked Detroit Crockett in last weekends regional-final slugfest.

The numbers are in Marine Citys favor, too.

Grosse Ile will dress fewer than 30 players on Saturday while the Mariners will bring double that number.

The Devils have scored 411 points this season while allowing 223 but Marine City has a 508-190 edge in a dozen games.

A tall order, to be sure, but Grosse Ile Coach John Bodner said his team will be ready.

Weve believed in this team the whole year, he said. Theyre confident they can be successful and they know we have a shot if we play our hardest foot-ball.

The defense will focus on Mariners tailback and Central Michigan commit-ment Anthony Scarcelli, who has amassed 1,700 yards and 37 touchdowns out of a Wing-T formation.

Fortunately, the Devils have seen variations of that

set before. Monroe St. Mary Catholic

Central runs it and so did Battle Creek Pennfield. Grosse Ile had success for most of Saturdays 18-13 win against the run but Bodner said Marine City runs the style to near perfection.

Theyre definitely the best team were going to see this season, Bodner said. Were going to have to be sure were reading our keys out there so we know where the ball is going.

Running back Jamie Salisbury is a nice compli-ment to Scarcelli with 940 yards and 13 touchdowns this season.

Despite a lack of depth, Grosse Iles defense has shown itself to be a well-con-ditioned group thats been as fresh in the fourth quarter as the opening drive.

The Devils will need that resilience in spades Saturday afternoon.

Grosse Ile tailback Alex Kish has rushed for 359 yards (7.8 per carry) and eight touchdowns during the postseason and should again carry the mail for the Devils on Saturday.

Quarterback Rob White (four postseason touch-downs) and tailback Jordan Nellenbach also can make things happen with their feet, but Grosse Ile might need Whites skills through the air to advance.

Marine City has allowed 15.9 points per game dur-ing its unbeaten run and has caused or recovered 30 turnovers.

Theyre aggressive, Bodner said. Theyre going to come after you and theyve had some success doing that.

Mariners linebacker Aaron Loconsole leads the defense with 102 tackles

and has six of his teams 31 sacks.

Like they say, emotion and momentum mean some-thing at this time of the season and its hard to pick against the Devils, who have shown a knack for making the biggest of plays when they matter most.

You have to expect close games in the playoffs and you have to win close games, Bodner said. Weve

been pushed to the brink but our guys have shown they can play on the edge and pull it out.

Tomorrows winner heads to Ford Field on Nov. 25 to face Comstock Park or Zeeland West in the state championship game.

It has been a great senior season for Alex Kish, who rushed for 157 yards in a win over Battle Creek Penneld last week. Kishs performance will be crucial tomorrow if the Red Devils hope to upset Marine City in the Division 4 state seminals.

HOCKEY

Defenseman Ryan Laurain returns to the Grosse Ile line-up for rst-year Coach Joe Maci, who will have a solid group of seniors to count on this season.

By Shane PrestonHeritage Media

Grosse Ile starts the 2011-2012 season with a new coach, but the same lofty expectations that led to a regional championship last season.

First-year Coach Joe Maci will take the reins of an established program hoping to convey a simple philosophy: Personal responsibility on and off the ice, continual growth, class and self control, Maci said.

We push for a balance, Maci said. Controlled in our own zone and push the play up the ice.

The Devils will rotate seven defensemen that will include seniors Grant Imlach, Ryan Laurain, Brandon Meyers and Adam Millar, junior Zachary Lemerand and sophomore Noah Gilreath.

There is plenty of depth at forward for Grosse Ile, led by seniors Ryan Drogheo, Steven Kubas, Dylan Milkins and Michael Nasarzewski. Also in the mix are juniors Jesse Jurecki, Aaron Porcarelli, Luke Moma and Enrico Muto and sophomores Jared Malecki, Avery Swain and Jake Ketelhut.

Freshman Garrett

Jakunskas will also see time at forward for the Devils.

In goal for Grosse Ile will be senior John Cozzi and junior Reggie Vella.

Maci said he feels that the work his team put in during the offseason will help them grind through a tough hockey season.

Players have spent four days a week in the offseason preparing physically, Maci said. With a good work ethic and commitment to success, we should be suc-cessful.

Bucs are hopeful

The coach is new, goals familiar for Red Devils

With a year to implement his system and philosophy, Riverviews second-year Coach Al Taurence has spent the offseason building team unity heading into the 2011-2012 season.

We have had off-ice work-outs all summer, Taurence sai
