City considers barring Hardway from council seat

The Hillsdale City Council may refuse to seat Ward 1 councilwoman-elect Jill Hardway. The council’s Operations and Governance Subcommittee held a meeting Nov. 10 to consider Hardway’s eligibility for office. The meeting addressed concerns brought by city administrators over Hardway’s company, JB Office Building LLC. The subcommittee reviewed Hardway’s eligibility under the city charter, which prohibits anyone in default to the city from holding elected office. Under Hillsdale’s charter, the city council decides the eligibility of its own members. Unless the council determines Hardway ineligible, she will be sworn in Dec. 1.

Downtown Albion takes on a new look

“Cruising the Gut” is a tradition more closely associated with nearby Battle Creek, where generations of motorists have driven through downtown, sometimes accompanied by the familiar aroma of cereal baking. But Albion has its own reasons to take a leisurely drive through town, especially as familiar landmarks take on new appearances.

Coldwater seeks local solution to long-running odor complaints

COLDWATER, MI — After decades of complaints about industrial odors, the city council introduced a local regulation ordinance Monday night, Nov. 9. At its Sept. 28 meeting, the council asked the city attorney to draft a local law after complaints about odors from a rendering plant. Councilman Jim Knaack identified the Darling Ingredients rendering plant as the source of smell complaints during a joint city council and planning commission meeting on July 6 in a discussion of proposed ordinance changes. Attorney Amanda O’Boyle drafted the ordinance to give Coldwater a local system for investigating and enforcing nuisance odor complaints, instead of relying on Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy inspectors. Knaack said that by the time inspectors arrived, sometimes after days, from Kalamazoo or other offices, the odors had dissipated or changed. While not mentioning Darling Ingredients by name, council discussions in September and Monday night referred to odors from the rendering plant. Knaack said the plant manager said the odor “should not be an issue” and could be controlled, but the odor persisted. Odor complaints are infrequent and unpredictable. The council voted to introduce the ordinance after removing residential properties from enforcement. More discussion is expected at

Jonesville loses barnburner battle to Whiteford in football regional final

OTTAWA LAKE — Jonesville’s run as the “Road Dawgs” finally came to an end on Friday, Nov. 13, but not before the Comets gave Ottawa Lake Whiteford everything it could handle in the MHSAA Division 7 football regional championship. The Comets, who built their postseason success on the road, battled the Bobcats through four quarters before falling 32-20, ending their season at 7-5. Jonesville led 12-8 at halftime and briefly reclaimed the lead late in the fourth quarter, but Whiteford capitalized on a handful of decisive plays to score 16 unanswered points and advance to the state semifinals. Here are our takeaways from Friday’s championship battle.

Go home for Thanksgiving while you can

Students should go home for Thanksgiving, even if the only magical part of it will be the spread of turkey, stuffing, and cranberry sauce. Some people would rather go home with a friend or a significant other for Thanksgiving break. Though the relationships you make in college are really important, that doesn’t mean you should sacrifice the time you get with your family members.

Hudson football rewrites record book, routs Springport for regional title

HUDSON — Come playoff season, an air raid siren is Thompson Field’s traditional accompaniment to every touchdown scored by the home team. It has been for more than 30 years. The siren rang through the historic venue nine times on Friday, Nov. 13, as Hudson cruised to a 61-20 win over Springport in the Division 8 regional championship. Or at least — it should have. After the Tigers’ first touchdown, the referees incorrectly informed coach Dan Rogers that the siren was prohibited under the Michigan High School Athletic Association rulebook. For the remainder of the first half, it wasn’t used. During halftime, however, the referees corrected themselves. They told Rogers the MHSAA’s siren ban only applies to indoor stadiums. In the second half, the familiar siren returned as Hudson moved one step closer to playing at Ford Field in Detroit. Campbell, Beal rewrite record books It took one drive for junior running back Beckett Campbell to cement himself in Hudson football history. By the night's conclusion, he became the program’s all-time leading rusher with just over 5,000 career yards in a Tiger uniform. “It means everything,” Campbell said. “But obviously I couldn’t do it without everyone who’s been with me

Deer hunting season opens Sunday with bigger guns allowed

Deer hunters are switching from bows to guns this weekend as Michigan's statewide deer gun season opens Sunday, Nov. 15, with several changes. For the first time since World War II, hunters in southern Lower Michigan can now use high-powered rifles instead of shotguns or other lower-power firearms. The DNR eliminated the Limited Firearms Deer Zone in the Lower Peninsula, allowing the use of all legal firearms, including bottleneck cartridges, throughout the Lower Peninsula. Firearms larger than .22 rimfire are now permitted statewide. “Many people have their grandpa’s or great-grandpa's old gun that they've never been able to use. They want to use it at least once," said Erica Butler of Broadheads and Bullets, a gun and archery shop at Jonesville and Marshall Road in Coldwater Township. As of Tuesday, Nov. 10, Michigan hunters have harvested nearly 68,000 deer during archery season. Branch County bow hunters harvested 915 deer, 619 with antlers and 296 without, according to the Michigan Department of Natural Resources. Paul Danbury of Coldwater recently stopped by Broadheads and Bullets and said he plans to hunt with his dad. He started 11 years ago at age 12. “There's rarely a year that I go without getting at

4-H funding takes significant hit in draft budget for Hillsdale County

Proposed budget cuts for 2027 in Hillsdale County could reduce mental health programming and agricultural education, including 4-H, from the Michigan State University Extension . Mary Bowling of the MSU Extension told commissioners the potential loss would effectively amount to about a third of the organization’s budget during a meeting Nov. 10. “We’re not opposed to a cut, but a third of our budget would affect (our) ability to serve county residents,” she said. The tentative budget calls for a 17% reduction in funding based on the county’s memorandum of understanding, along with reductions involving a program coordinator for 4-H, according to Commissioner Brent Leininger. Bowling said the cuts could affect more than 4-H , including pesticide applicator education, mental health first aid, farm stress assistance and training under ServSafe. Nisha Ritchie, a retired educator and volunteer for 4-H, said reducing support for the coordinator position could have long-term consequences for young people in Hillsdale County. She said she's watched students grow from shy middle schoolers into confident leaders through 4-H. Without adequate coordinator support, she said, club leaders could have fewer resources and less guidance. Leininger said the municipality is facing difficult choices for 2027. The tentative general fund
