Mendon volleyball season comes to a close in regional semifinals

ATHENS — The Mendon volleyball program is no stranger to playing this late in the season. A perennial staple in the Division 4 playoffs, Mendon has long had a tradition to piling up district trophies. The Hornets play in the regional tournament and expect to be there. This year, there were some bumps along the way, but Arika Jungers and her group navigated their way to another regional appearance. Unfortunately for the first-year head coach and the Hornets, the appearance will not end in the regional finals. On Tuesday night, Mendon fell in five sets to 10th-ranked Kalamazoo Hackett in the semifinals at Athens High School. "To say that this team hasn't battled mentally and physically all season would be completely foolish," Jungers said following Tuesday's match. "These kids, the way they showed up tonight and battled every single set — it's just a testament to their work ethic and how hard we worked to turn this last month of the season into something we are so incredibly proud of."

Second of Two Parts: A Deeper Dive into Household Hazardous Waste Performance

Kalamazoo County analyzes demographics of underserved households: median income is a driver, distance is not. Last month (Waste Advantage, October 2026), we looked into the performance of the Local Hazardous Waste Management Program in King County, WA, serving 2.3 million residents with a population density of nearly 1,000 people per square mile. King County is a typical urban area comprised of a few high-density anchor cities with suburban and rural regions in outlying areas. Significant gaps were found between the demographics of households in the vicinity of each of their permanent HHW collection facilities compared to the demographics of households actually using the HHW facility from the same vicinity. For those interested in a high-density service area HHW collection performance, San Franciso has a population density of 18,000 residents per square mile and was reviewed in a January 2022 Waste Advantage Magazine article.
