ANN ARBOR - Maybe labeling a college football game between two unranked teams in the second week of the season as a sacred experience is a little extreme, but if Notre Dame can believe in "Touchdown Jesus,' then why not a little Big House Intervention?

The government way of life and the selflessness need to help people is in Roger Dubuc's blood; bleeding even stronger in the wake of 9/11. The Grand Haven Township man was working at Star Crane & Hoist Service Inc. in Allendale when that dark September day in 2001 descended upon - not just New York City - but all of America.

Rivals Fruitport and Mona Shores played to a 0-0 tie on the soccer field Saturday afternoon. The Sailors had more shots on the game, but the Trojans were saved by a nice game by goalie Loghan Stong, who had nine stops. "Both teams had probably three quality scoring chances, and I'm shocked that the score ended at 0-0,' said Trojans' coach Greg Kobylak, whose team is now 6-1-1. The Trojans have recorded six shutouts in their eight games this fall.

The U.S. Department of Justice has announced arson charges against a Muskegon landlord. Gerald Singer is also charged with insurance fraud and filing false federal income tax returns.

An ashy silhouette of the World Trade Center's north tower lingered in the air as the 110-story building plummeted to the ground 10 years ago, leaving behind skeletal walls and shattered souls. That smoky shadow looming in New York's sunny September sky is vividly etched in Lt. Cmdr. Sean Brady's memory. On Sept. 11, 2001, the Coast Guardsman watched the second tower rapidly descend from the top floor down, suffocating the city with pulverized concrete dust.
