Consumers Energy is determined to replace and enhance pipes in natural gas systems all across Michigan, including for the residents of Grand Ledge. Starting on August 5th, Consumers Energy implemented new gas distribution lines across Broadbent road and Saginaw highway, causing the road to be closed until August 12th. Now, however, the installations have moved westward along the north side of M-43, and it is currently unknown when the installments will be completed. Nonetheless, these small ventures are all, in fact, part of Consumer Energy’s bigger project that began...

On a cloudy and tense night, week one of Varsity Football kicked off for the 2019-2020 school year. With the first game rapidly approaching, the expectations and nerves of the 2019 Grand Ledge Varsity team reached their peak. “I was excited to see where we stack up against difficult opponents such as Hudsonville,” Jack Elieff, lineman on defense and offense for GL, said. On Aug. 29, GL faced off against Hudsonville on the GLHS home field for the first game. For every Varsity game there is a theme, and for the GL students, the first game was jersey night. The student...

It is obvious that there are environmental differences between California and Michigan, so I knew things would not be the same once I moved here. In fact anytime I had talked to classmates about moving here, they would tell me about the cold, the snow, and how much winter is going to suck. Aside from the physical aspects between the two states, another obvious difference would be the culture. The same way people in the Midwest assume Californians are weed-smoking surfers, I had assumed that everyone in Michigan would be a Trump-loving conservative. My mind had...

BROCKHAMPTON’s 5th studio album Ginger came out August 23rd this year, and there is so much to talk about. People have been waiting for this album for about a year now, and I am excited to tell any Grande Ledge BROCKHAMPTON fans what I think this album is all about. Since their last release Iridescence, fans have been itching to see the direction the boy band is going to go in. In a lot of people’s opinions, Iridescence did not pack the same punch as the Saturation Trilogy, and I would agree; they went for more of an experimental sound than on their previous albums...
