(October 14, 2020 10:35 AM) To support not only a new Jackson YMCA facility but also the developing Jackson downtown, Scott and Nicole McIntosh are donating $100,000 to the Y campaign for a contemporary new building in Jackson. Scott, the Vice President of Tax for Consumers Energy, also serves as a YMCA board member and chair of the capital campaign.  The Jackson YMCA announced the latest gift to the capital campaign this morning. “We’re big fans of what’s going on downtown with the rebirth of Jackson, and we see the Y as being a catalyst for collaboration and positive change,” said Scott of the city’s new restaurants, housing and  development projects. “I love the Y and the great things that are going on, but even bigger than that I see the new Y being a big part of the continued transformation downtown.” In January, the Consumers Energy Foundation announced a matching capital campaign grant of up to $3 million.

By Jeff Steers JTV Sports (October 13, 2020 9:36 PM) If cross country were like a 3 – on – 3 basketball tournament, Hanover-Horton High School would probably win the state title. But each cross country team starts with seven runners with five scoring points. The Comets have been beating teams with regularity – normally with the top three runners in each race. Hanover-Horton did it again Tuesday taking positions 1-3 in the boys’ 5K race earning 19 points and wins over Napoleon (43) and East Jackson (78). The Pirates earned a win over the Trojans. The Comets remain undefeated in the Cascades Conference heading into the conference final next week. The girls’ team did a couple better, taking the top five spots in defeating EJ and Napoleon. A Reynolds – Dean in the boys’ race and Sophia in the girls’ event – won the varsity races. Dean Reynolds finished the race in 16 minutes, 21 seconds. Teammates Rogan Melling was second (16:26) and Logan Shepherd was third (16:34). Napoleon took places fourth and fifth as…
