DNR Shares Mining Concerns Near Watkins Lake State Park

The Michigan Department of Natural Resources is raising serious concerns about a proposed gravel mine next to Watkins Lake State Park and County Preserve in Norvell Township. In a November fifth letter to township trustees, DNR Director Scott Bowen warned the proposed operation could damage the park’s wetlands, water quality, wildlife habitat and recreational experience. The proposed mine would cover a 625-acre site adjacent to the park and Watkins Lake, with mining and truck operations expected to continue for 20 years. The DNR also cites potential problems from dust, noise and increased truck traffic. The letter comes as Norvell Township considers whether to approve or deny the mining permit. The full letter is available at Irish Hills Concerned Citizens website.

Four Lenawee County runners earn all-state honors in cross country finals at MIS

BROOKLYN — Adrian runners Ayda Skeels and Madison Petty have been two of Lenawee County’s fastest all season long. Last season, Petty ran a personal best time to secure Michigan All-State honors with a 19th place finish in the MHSAA championship. In 2026, Skeels has consistently been the Maples’ top runner. On Saturday, Adrian’s dynamic duo represented the best of Lenawee County at the MHSAA Cross Country Championships by earning all-state honors with their performances in the Division 2 girls race at Michigan International Speedway. “This whole season we’ve just been able to push each other in workouts and races,” Skeels said about her teammate. “It’s really awesome for me to have that person.” Skeels finished 15th, while Petty placed 25th. “I just wanted to run my own race and compete with the other girls around me,” Skeels said. “Overall, just to finish top 15, I’m pretty happy with that.” Two other Lenawee County runners earned all-state honors with top-30 performances at the state meet, both from Blissfield. Michael Weidmayer finished 12th in the Division 3 boys race while Anna Hallett came in 16th in the girls race. More: Adrian's season unravels in district finals loss to Divine Child, Week

Multibillion-dollar battle brewing behind closed doors will affect every American

LANSING, Mich. — Fifteen years working as an emergency room nurse has convinced Kim Bogan that the only way to fix the American healthcare system is to tear it down and start over. Her patients arriving for triage are sicker than ever. They can’t afford many of the prescriptions they get in the ER. And sometimes when patients die, she wonders if she could have saved them had she not been caring for five or six other people at once. That’s why she spent the past year shuttling between 12-hour shifts at this city’s Sparrow Hospital and campaigning for Abdul El-Sayed, the Democrat who made “Medic...
