Patient Lape Chooses Friends, Sports as Building Blocks for Future

By Jeff Steers JTV Sports  (December 14, 2024 8:00 AM ET) Two years ago Grass Lake High School student-athlete Brayden Lape had a decision to make. He could either move to Nashville and pursue a country music career or remain in Grass Lake and continue his high school sports schedule. After finishing fifth on NBC’s singing show “The Voice” and creating a national audience, Lape chose Grass Lake, his friends and family, and high school sports. “I have always been a small-town kid who enjoys hunting, fishing, and being with my friends,” Lape said recently. “I could not see myself as someone that I was not. “I love playing high school sports … you only get to do it once in your lifetime.” The senior now has his career mapped out as he prepares to graduate from Grass Lake just over five month from now. He expects to finish in the top three in his class with a 4.24 grade point average (on a 4.0 scale). He has signed to play football at Northwood University in Midland and wants to study business, pursuing a music career after college. “I looked up country artists who played college football (Riley Green and…

Boil Water Advisory for City of Jackson Water Service Area

JTV file photo. (December 13, 2024 1:52 PM ET) The City of Jackson has issued a Boil Water Advisory for water customers in the Jackson City Limits, and select properties in Summit, Blackman and Leoni townships. There was recently a malfunction at the Water Treatment Plant that could cause bacteria in the water. This triggered a mandatory advisory from the State of Michigan. Tests of the water supply have not shown any bacteria. However, it’s important for our customers to know what happened. More important information about the advisory is available on the City website. As a precaution, residents are advised to boil tap water for one minute before using. Boiling kills any potential bacteria. The City of Jackson plans on updating the community on the status of this advisory on Sunday, Dec. 15 when further testing is complete. If customers are unsure if they receive their water from the City of Jackson, a water service coverage map is available on the City website (and below). It’s important to know that not everyone in the Jackson area receives their drinking water from the City, despite having a Jackson address, so residents are asked to reference the coverage map.
