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

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

Hudson, Britton Deerfield look to keep playoff runs alive in crucial Week 12 matchups

Hudson and Springport met on the gridiron for the first time last season. By halftime, the Tigers knew they were regional champions. On Friday, for the second straight year, Hudson (10-1, 1st in LCAA) will host Springport (10-1, 1st in Big 8) at Thompson Field with a regional title on the line. Beckett Campbell stole the show last time around. The running back had a career night with 14 carries for 359 yards and five touchdowns to lead the Tigers to a 68-22 win over the Spartans as a sophomore. Campbell, now a junior, will lead Hudson once more against the Big 8 Conference champions. Springport retained momentum from its program-best 11-1 season in 2025. The Spartans ran the table with an undefeated 8-0 record in conference play. Their only loss this season came in Week 3, a 42-13 loss to top-ranked Beal City. Last season, Springport’s offense was led by senior quarterback Gibson Overweg. His younger brother, sophomore Rip Overweg, has since filled his shoes. Rip has led a Spartan offense that prides itself on running the ball and making high-percentage throws. Last week, he accounted for four total touchdowns in Springport’s 34-22 district final win over Decatur. “[Overweg]
