MASON — The Mason City Council’snewly adopted 2011-12 operating budgetcalls for the same millage rate, 13.25mills, as last year.
That’s an accomplishment in the cur-rent economic climate, said City Admin-istrator Marty Colburn.
“In a very real sense, Mason is ina positive picture, comparatively, to thestate of Michigan as a whole,” Colburnsaid.
However, he said sacrifices still haveto be made. Although no layoffs areplanned, the city won’t hire as manysummer staff as in the past, Colburnsaid, although a seasonal park employeefor Rayner Park will be added.
The Department of Public Works willmaintain the other city parks, Colburnsaid.
City Finance Director Eric Smith willwork on a “dashboard,” which Colburnexplained is a template being built by thestate and the Michigan Municipal Leaguethat “gauges” what’s in a community.
“It’s supposed to create a level oftransparency of financial status in yourcommunity,” Smith said.
A dashboard, he said, involves itemssuch as revenues, debt and the city’sresources put toward recreation and cul-ture.
Budget focusesThe 2011-02 total budget of almost
$10.7 million involves five main criteria,according to Colburn:
• preserving critical services;
• keeping the budget balanced;• not spending down the surplus (the
city actually is putting $86,000 into thisfund);
• deferring most of the street pro-gram until next fiscal year at a savingsof $871,000 (except for Randolph andMathews streets). The Franklin Farmsextension also will be deferred.
• and using collaborative communi-ties.
For example, Mason has entered intoan agreement for building-inspectionservices with Meridian Township afterthe city had eliminated the buildinginspector because of the dwindling con-struction industry. The hourly rates are$65 for a building inspector and $75 for abuilding official.
There are upcoming purchasesplanned, however.
Colburn said the city plans to buya police car and an out-fall bypass forflood control at the wastewater-treat-ment plant, maintain wells, clean sani-tary lines and maintain wells.
The city, he said, also will participatein an LED (light-emitting diode) pilotprogram for street lights.
Foreclosures an issueColburn said there were 50 foreclo-
sures in 2010, up from 41 in 2009. Thatindicates a basic upward trend, as therewere 19 in 2006, 32 in 2007 and 68 in2008.
“Comparatively, then, we’re doingbetter than most cities,” Colburn said.“But it’s still hurting.”
Foreclosed home values go down, hesaid, plus the city receives no water-usage fees.
Still, Smith pointed out that the citystill is offering “static” levels of serviceswithout raising the millage. “That’s a bigdeal,” Colburn said. “It really is.”

The Onondaga Township Hall is packed with residents interested in the proposedOnondaga Dragway. CHRISTIE BLECK/LCN
ONONDAGA TWP. — The OnondagaTownship Planning Commission will con-sider public comments for and againstthe proposed Onondaga Dragway it heardduring a May 4 public hearing.
A standing-room only crowd of morethan 100 residents packed the TownshipHall to register support or express con-cern for the 1/8-mile dragstrip on BellevueRoad, which closed in the 1970s because ofeconomic conditions.
In fact, improving the current economicclimate was one of the reasons Whit Gan-naway, a former Mason resident who nowlives in Flint, gave in favor of the drag-strip, saying it could bring in business.
Gannaway also said the track would notcause an increase in crime and insteadwould give drivers a place for recreation.
“They’re bringing in cars they’ve spentevery penny they have on, and they wantto race it on Sunday,” he said.
Rex Torgerson of Dansville said hisdaughter races.
“You’ve got to get kids involved, andget involved early,” he said.
Chris Potter, who owns the OnondagaTavern with his wife, also named Chris,said the Dragway would bring in new busi-ness, but also said,
“If it gets kids off the street, gives themsomething to do, do their hobby, that’sgreat.”
OppositionNot everyone favors the track, how-
ever.Julie Janeway of Onondaga said that
although she recognizes the sentimentalattachment to the Dragway, the PlanningCommission’s job is to decide land-useissues, not economic development.
“It is the Planning Commission’s job todetermine if land use is legal or not,” she

Lansing St. The code enforcement officeris contacting all the property owners about thenuisances and will work to achieve voluntaryabatement.
Air-noise nuisanceApril 28: An officer was dispatched to a sus-

The advice washeeded and the group rode off.
Dispute investigatedApril 29: An officer received a domestic dis-
pute complaint after a woman allegedly walkedaway from home with the couple’s child. Thecomplainant reported an argument broke out,after which his live-in girlfriend tried to leave
by car with their child. He prevented access tothe car, and the girlfriend left on foot.
The officer contacted the girlfriend whoreported being safe with the child but refusedto report her location out of fear of what shedescribed was an abusive and threatening rela-tionship. She stated she left because the com-plainant had told her he was leaving her andwas taking the child with him.
Ex denies textApril 29: A Mason resident reported receiv-
ing a threatening text message from her ex-husband because of a Friend of the Court rulingregarding his supervised visitation of their chil-dren. She reported the text message, which shesaved, as saying, “I have friends who want toput you in the hospital.” The suspect deniedresponsibility for the message, claiming hewasn’t the one who wanted to hurt her, but itwas a friend of his who did, and he was notresponsible for how his friend felt.
The officer reported trying to convey howsuch messages might be looked upon by theFriend of the Court which still has jurisdictionin the case. The complainant intends to seek aPersonal Protection Order against the ex.
Video has cluesApril 30: An officer patrolling an area around
a local alcohol and food establishment cameupon an employee of the business having aproblem with a group of customers who hadjust left the premises. Investigation uncoveredone of the group was a 20-year-old, intoxicatedfemale with a fraudulent identification, and oneof the three males had left the premises with aglass of beer which he threw onto the ground,breaking it while still on the business’s prop-erty.
The male suspect’s denial of his offenses wascontested by the business’s video reproductionsshown to the officer, and the female’s denial ofher infractions was disputed by bloodshot eyes,slurred speech pattern and the officer’s discov-ery of her true age. The male suspect was citedfor littering, and the female was cited for minorin possession by consumption and using a falseidentification. She was taken home to ensureshe arrived safely. Her three male companionswere released.
Suspect releasedApril 29: Officers were dispatched to Acme
Drive for a breaking and entering of a storagetrailer. The complainant reported finding a holein the storage trailer roof and a silver mini-van, which did not belong there, parked next toit. While inspecting the hole, the complainantstated the minivan started up and drove away.
An area bulletin was put out, and a shorttime later an Ingham County deputy located thevehicle and suspect on N. Cedar St. The sus-pect stated he was homeless and living out ofthe vehicle. He added that he parked near thetrailer to sleep overnight and was alerted whenthe complainants approached his car. Fearinghe was in trouble, he fled before he could be
stopped.The interior of the suspect’s vehicle sup-
ported the claim the suspect was living out ofit. Further investigation of the trailer indicatedthe hole was possibly created by varmints ofsome kind and had been that way for a while.The suspect was released, and the matter wasclosed for lack of any evidence indicating acrime had taken place.
Retaliation vandalism?April 29: A Mason resident reported being
victimized by vandals after the flowers aroundhis mailbox were torn and cut up and thenstuffed into his mailbox.

Case closed
May 1: Officers were dispatched to a Mason residencefor a domestic assault report. Two victims, a mother anddaughter, alleged they were assaulted by the suspectafter an argument brought on by his behavior.
The victims reported being pushed and slapped. Thesuspect admitted to pushing and lightly slapping the vic-tims, but only because they were harassing him andrefusing to leave him alone.
The officers reported one victim was found to have apuncture mark in her neck, behind her ear, caused by anearring post.
The suspect was arrested and transported to theIngham County Jail, where he was lodged.
The next day, the Ingham County Prosecutor’s Officerefused to issue charges, stating, “while probable causefor arrest exists, there is no reasonable likelihood of con-viction based on all the facts and circumstances.”
The suspect was released and the matter, closed.
Bicycle takenMay 2: A Mason resident reported the theft of his son’s
bicycle from their residence on S. Barnes St.The complainant stated the bicycle was gone from its
last known location, leaning up against the garage, and inits place was a Triax Crimson 21-speed men’s bicycle withflat tires.
The complainant surmised the thief swapped bikesbecause of the flat tires and rode off on his son’s bicycle.
The missing bicycle is described as a red boys 18-speedmountain bike.
Driver tracked downMay 2: An officer patrolling Cedar St. witnessed a car
driving out of a service station lot; the driver slumpedinto the seat with a hat pulled down disguising his facialfeatures and a man chasing after it, waving his arms.Once the officer confirmed the driver had left the busi-ness without paying for gasoline, the officer went afterthe vehicle, but to no avail, as the suspect was able tododge the officer in a nearby neighborhood.
However, a resident happened to witness the car driv-ing by at an excessive speed, but reported thinking noth-ing of it until seeing the police car apparently trying tofind it. The witness stated the suspect car came back andhe was able to get a good look at the driver and note theregistration plate. With evidence in hand, the officer wasable to track down the vehicle’s owner and ascertain itwas loaned to a friend of a family member for personalbusiness. The suspect’s name was obtained but by thetime this all was done, arrangements were made by thesuspect to pay for the gasoline with the business manage-ment. The matter is settled as a civil dispute, and no pros-ecution can be sought for theft.
Driver cited
May 2: An officer monitoring traffic at South andCedar streets witnessed a stop sign violation and exces-sive speeds of 45 mph in a 35-mph posted zone. The carwas stopped, and the driver soon was found to be drivingsuspended. When asked if anyone could come pick her upand drive the car away, the driver stated her boyfriendcould.
When the boyfriend showed, he also was found to besuspended for failing to comply with judgments on priorcharges, and was wanted in Lincoln Park on a misde-meanor charge.
He was not arrested on the warrant because it was out-side the pick-up range, but was warned to take care ofit as soon as possible. Next up was a call to the driver’ssister who did have a license, and arrived to take custodyof the car. The driver was released with citations for thestop sign violation and driving while suspended.

Every morning my arthritistells me to stay in bed.
Fortunately, I’m in charge.
Is arthritis keeping you from living the life you want? Then take
charge with moderate physical activity. Sure, it’s not easy, but
studies show that getting your heart rate up and keeping it up,
at least 30 minutes a day, 5 days a week, helps reduce the pain
and stiffness from arthritis. It also improves your mood. But
it’s more than just staying busy, so pick an activity like walking,
biking, or swimming — whatever works for you — and you’ll
notice a difference in just 4 to 6 weeks. Whether you try 30
minutes a day at one time, or 10 minutes at a time, 3 times
a day, it all adds up to feeling better.

said.Janeway also said the Dragway is
not a “diversion program” for speed-ers.
“That is not your scope of author-ity,” she told the commission.
Charlotte Krajniak of Onondagasaid her family moved to the ruralarea for the lack of noise in the com-munity.
“If I wanted noise,” Krajniak said,“I’d have stayed in Lansing. I movedhere for the quiet.”
Ray Comer of Onondaga hasapplied for a special-use permit (SUP)for the Dragway, located on landzoned AR (Agricultural-Residential).
However, a group of residents hadappealed the township’s decision toapprove the SUP.
The SUP application then wasreprocessed, with the Planning Com-mission recommending the revisedsite plan (not the SUP) to the town-ship. The Township Board approvedthe site plan on March 29, with theissue going back to the Planning Com-mission.
The Dragway has a recent historyof conflict.
In August 2010, 30th Circuit CourtJudge James Giddings, now retired,
issued an injunction halting a special-use permit for the track until issuessuch as safety, wetlands involvement,fuel transportation and spillage, noiseand vibrations were worked out.
That injunction stemmed from theappeal from the residents opposingthe project.
30th Circuit Judge Clinton CanadyIII on March 25 of this year had denieda request, though, from the drag-way’s applicant to have the injunctionagainst racing at the dragstrip lifted.
The matter is still pending.The planning board’s chairman,
Matt Schindewolf, said the commis-sion would consider the May 4 publicinput before sending its decision tothe Township Board.

MASON — Pet owners who cannotafford to have their male cats neu-tered will benefit from the InghamCounty Animal Control’s (ICAC) spe-cial offer of assistance to neuter malecats on Monday, May 9 for a fee of$10 that will also include a rabies anddistemper vaccination.
ICAC Director Jamie McAloonLampman said, “We can pay now, orpay later when it comes to cat over-population. And by paying later, Imean having to deal with thousandsof unwanted cats that will be broughtto our shelter or become abandonedto die a terrible death on the streets.”
The ICAC shelter took in morethan 1,800 cats in 2010, according toMcAloon Lampman.
By helping cat owners who couldnot afford to have the surgery done,McAloon believes this program willprevent the death of thousands ofcats that would have been euthanizedbecause there is such a large surplusof cats. The cost to the pet owner is$10 for a male cat. Due to limitedspace, only 80 cats can be acceptedfor this one-day event. The Tom CatNeuter program is made possible asa result of donations to the shelter’sspay neuter fund. Pet owners are lim-
ited to three cats per household andferal cats are welcome. The fee mustbe paid in advance of May 9.
To reserve an appointment, call(517) 676-8372 and leave a message,or come by the shelter at 600 CurtisSt. during business hours.
Donations are accepted for thisprogram as no county funds are usedto support this event. To donate tothe Spay/Neuter Fund, send a dona-tion to ICAC Spay/Neuter Fund, 600Curtis St., Mason, MI 48854 or atwww.ingham.org/ac/home.htm .

MASON — Mason’ssoccer team reboundedfrom its second defeatof the season to stay ontop of the CAAC Redstandings, falling in a non-league contest to arch-rivalOkemos, but then trouncingSt. Johns.
Two days after dispatch-ing previously unbeatenGrand Ledge, Okemosstaked an early claim to thetitle of Best Girls’ SoccerTeam in the Area by beatingthe Bulldogs by the samescore, 3-0, on April 29.
“We did not play smarttoday,” Mason coach Chris-tie Hursey said. “They beatus to balls and made us payfor our mistakes. They’rejust a great team, so I givethem all the credit in the
world.” Liz Mullin, KristelleYewah and Vanessa Lacossescored for the Chieftains,who improved to 5-1-4.
“If you’d have told methat we’d get out of thisweek 3-0, I’d have beenvery happy,” Okemos coachBrian Guggemos said.“Mason is a very good team.They gave us everythingthey had and there werea couple of moments thatwere very scary.”
The Bulldogs came intothe game having beenscored upon in only onegame this year, a 2-0 loss toDeWitt in a shortened tour-nament game on April 16.
That streak lasted 2:15into this one, when a Masonclearance attempt 15 yardsfrom its own goal caromedoff of Mullin and into theBulldog net to make the
score 1-0.The turning point of the
game came in the final min-utes of the first half, whenMason’s Christine Harrisontook a right-footed blastfrom the Okemos 18, whichgoalie Olivia Sherman justmanaged to keep out with afull-extension, diving save.
From that clearance 20seconds later, Yewah pickedup the ball at the edge of theMason box, defeated twodefenders and placed it pasta helpless Emily Bartlett tomake the score 2-0 with 1:57left in the half.
Okemos put the gameaway soon after the break,on a penalty kick by Lacosseafter a Mason foul justinside the box near the goalline after a short cornerkick. Lacosse placed it tothe left of Amber Denomme
and in to make the score 3-0with 32:27 left in the game.
After that third goal,Okemos controlled posses-sion in what had been,despite the score, an evenlyplayed game. While theydid not score, Mason wasclearly spent, and the Chief-tains cruised to the win.
The Bulldogs came backwith a convincing win ina potentially tricky game,defeating St. Johns 4-0 onMay 3.
Katie Smith led the waywith a hat trick in the con-test, and DaniMcNeilly hadthe other Mason goal inthe game, which improvedthe Bulldogs to 9-2-1 overalland 3-0 in CAAC Red play.
The Bulldogs will finishup league play this week,starting with a key awaygame at Jackson Lumen
Christi on Tuesday, May10. The Titans were theonly other unbeaten teamin the CAAC Red at presstime, making this contest
the likely conference cham-pionship game. Mason willthen host Lansing Sexton inthe league season finale onThursday, May 12.

People sometimes ask:“How do you manage tocontinue to publish a news-paper without selling it on asubscription basis?”
Most folks are accus-tomed to the traditionaldaily newspaper that wepay to receive at our homeor business. Lansing Com-munity Newspapers existson an entirely different –although not uncommon –business model.
We distribute this news-paper or one of its sisterpublications to 140,000homes each week at nocharge. We subsist almostexclusively on revenue gen-erated through advertisingsales. Our broad deliveryallows us to reach a largeraudience than subscriptionnewspapers. And our newsis distinctly local, much ofit submitted by readers just
like you.Simply put, lots of folks
read the paper because itreaches their doorstep andthe information in it meansthey pick it up and read it.
It’s been a successfulmodel, and it makes thisnewspaper and its 11 sisternewspapers in the Lansingarea a good example ofhow to operate free weeklynewspapers.
That doesn’t change thefact that publishing a news-paper today costs more thanever – and we’re not talk-ing about salaries, comput-ers and office space. The
two largest expenses arethe printing and distribu-tion of this newspaper.
As we have in the past,we are promoting our vol-untary pay program. Thiscolumn is an effort toexplain what this programis, and isn’t.
The voluntary pay pro-gram allows you and otherreaders to make a contri-bution of $13 for 26 weeksor $26 for 52 weeks, andif you choose, tip your car-rier an additional amount.The amount equates to 50cents per issue. An envelopeexplaining the program isinserted in this issue.
We won’t gloss over twokey issues here:
• Yes, the money raisedthrough the program makesa difference, assists us inkeeping advertising costslower and makes it easier
Voluntary pay envelope inside paper this weekto continue to operate thepaper at an acceptableprofit.
• This program is volun-tary. If you enjoy the news-paper, or a component ofthe newspaper, and if youexperience good, consistentdelivery of the newspaper,we hope you participate.
However, if you havedelivery problems, or forany other reason areunhappy with the newspa-per, we ask you to do twothings.
First, don’t participate inthe program. Second, callus and give us a chance tosolve your delivery prob-lem or gain an understand-ing of what kind of localinformation would interestyou Finally, understand thatdelivery of this newspaperto you is not contingenton this program. You willcontinue to receive yournewspaper regardless ofwhether you choose to par-ticipate in this program.
Thank you for your con-
tinued support of this news-paper. We are successfulbecause of the support ofyou, our readers and adver-tisers.
If you have any ques-tions, or concerns regardingthe voluntary pay program,please contact the Circu-lation Department at 866-226-1812 or email [email protected].
