High school football: Breaking down the top playoff games in Round 2

Clarkston (9-1) will need a big game from quarterback Alex Waszczenko if it hopes to hand Grand Blanc (10-0) its first loss of the season in the Division 1 district final Friday, Nov. 6. The senior dual-threat QB has completed 64% of his passes for 1,116 yards, 11 TDs and two interceptions. He’s also rushed for 404 yards and 11 TDs. “Offensively, it starts with our QB Alex Waszczenko,” Clarkston coach Josh Pintar said. “He is the catalyst to everything we do on offense. Along with our offensive line giving him time and opening up holes in the run game, I expect them to be important factors in how this game goes. Alex is a tremendous athlete who has the ability to make plays both in the run or pass (games), and he is also dangerous on broken plays, making something out of nothing.” Waszczenko is already third in school history with 1,116 career passing yards, recently passing Dugan Fife. He also ranks third with 34 career TD passes, having moved past Tyler Scarlett. Only Dane Fife and DJ Zezula rank ahead of him in both categories. Waszczenko’s favorite targets are Drew French, who has 344 yards and four TDs

Brighton Schools celebrates successful $90.275 million bond proposal

According to unofficial election results, Brighton Area Schools successfully passed a $90.275 million bond proposal Nov. 3. The proposal, which earned 55.07% support, addresses safety, facility and learning-space needs without increasing the current tax rate. The bond will cover districtwide safety system and traffic improvements, secure school entrances, classroom renovations, updated science and music learning spaces, elementary gymnasiums, and repairs to aging roofs and cooling equipment. It also includes improvements to the Brighton Center for the Performing Arts. The debt millage will remain at 2.73 mills. According to district officials, the tax rate is the lowest in Livingston County and the lowest in Brighton since 1987. "We recognize the decision to invest in our schools is an important one, and we are grateful to everyone who took the time to learn about the proposal, ask questions, share feedback and participate in the election," Superintendent Matt Outlaw wrote in a statement to The Daily. "We also recognize that members of our community have held differing views on the proposal, and we respect the perspectives of all our residents. More: What's included in modified bond from Brighton Area Schools? "This bond represents an important investment in the future of Brighton Area Schools.

At the University of Michigan, Environmental Justice Starts With Who Gets to Decide

When Michelle Martinez talks about climate change, she does not begin with temperatures, emissions, or models and projections. She begins with people. For Martinez, the inaugural director of the Tishman Center for Social Justice and the Environment at the University of Michigan (U-M), climate change is already being experienced through the housing, economic, and political crises confronting communities today. And that makes climate justice inseparable from a more basic civic question: Who has the power to decide what happens to a community? The Tishman Center, established in 2021 at U-M’s School for Environment and Sustainability, was created around a particular idea of what a university can do in that struggle. Made possible through gifts from The NorthLight Foundation and Dan and Sheryl Tishman, the center connects students with environmental justice organizations and community leaders, supports community-led research, and prepares students to work on the problems communities are already facing. That model grew partly from what Martinez felt was missing during her years working in environmental justice in Detroit. “What I really needed from the university was a constant and steady support, with actionable research that could result in policy change,” she said. Communities' needs, however, rarely follow the timetable of
