By Jeff Steers JTV Sports (August 3, 2021 10:52 AM) East Jackson High School football will have a missing ingredient for the 2021 season. The Trojans are stacked on the offensive and defensive line. First-year head Coach Joe Niehaus hopes that will equate to wins and earn the Trojans at least five victories. East Jackson was 1-6 a year ago but has struggled for wins in the past decade. The Trojans have earned eight wins since 2012. The team’s last winning season was in 2011 with a 5-4 record. Niehaus comes from Grass Lake and says the Trojans have nearly 30 players on the varsity team. “We need to get better on every rep,” Niehaus said. “Rome wasn’t built is a day. “There is no magic button … it takes time. You can’t bring it one day and take a step back the next day.” Niehaus said the Trojans have solid linemen on both sides starting with Bryce Johnson (OL/DL), Brian Hammer (OL/DL), and…

Jackson District Library to End Overdue Fines
(August 2, 2021 4:00 PM) Jackson District Library today announced they will stop charging patrons fines for overdue library materials as well as retroactively remove any overdue fees that current library patrons have. Beginning Wednesday, Sept. 1, overdue materials will no longer accrue fines. JDL patrons are still responsible for replacement charges for lost or damaged materials. "Fines do not encourage the on-time return of materials, and contrary to what some may believe, fines don't make the library any significant amount of money either, accounting for less than .5 percent of our budget," JDL Director Sara Tackett said. "What fines do is prevent access for patrons who cannot afford to pay those fines. We wanted to remove as many barriers to access as possible, especially for our patrons who struggle financially." Patrons are still responsible for returning materials, library officials said. Any materials that are 30 days overdue will result in the patron’s account being blocked until the items are returned. Once materials are returned, the entire bill is removed from the patron’s account. If materials or lost or damaged, a fee to cover the cost of replacing the materials will still apply. "Interestingly, libraries that have eliminated overdue fines…
