Otto’s Turkey Farm: 180 years and six generations

There was a time when nearly every country road in Barry County was lined with family farms. Dairy cattle grazed in the pastures, chickens scratched around the barnyard, and the changing seasons determined much of the farmer’s daily routine. Farming was not simply an occupation but a way of life, and the family farm was often handed down from one generation to the next. Today, many of those farms have disappeared, their barns stand empty or their fields have since been converted into residential developments. Yet, here and there, we find remarkable exceptions where the land remains in the hands of descendants of the original pioneer settlers. One such example is Otto’s Turkey Farm, located at 7640 West State Road near Middleville, where the same family has been farming for 180 years.

BATTLE CREEK - Harper Creek volleyball coach Terra King knew she had a future college athlete in her gym when Camille Robinson was in fifth grade. On Wednesday, King watched Robinson sign her National Letter of Intent to make that official. Robinson committed to play Division I volleyball at East Tennessee State during a signing ceremony at Harper Creek High School on Wednesday, Nov. 11. MORE: No. 4 St. Philip advances in volleyball regionals; Lakeview falls short "I am so excited for her. This has been a dream of hers. Camille started being a ball girl in our gym in fifth grade.

Tibbits auction raises more than $100,000 to support theater programs

COLDWATER, MI — Tibbits Opera House relies on more than ticket sales to keep its stage lively, its historic building maintained, and its arts programs accessible to the community. The organization set a new single-event fundraising record on Saturday, Nov. 7. Tibbits' 47th Annual Auction, “Diamonds and Denim,” raised over $100,000 Saturday night. Proceeds from the auction help sustain the theater and its diverse programming. Executive Director Chris Delaney emphasized that fundraising is essential because ticket sales alone do not cover the cost of running the theater and presenting its programs. “Almost half of our income comes from community support,” Delaney said. “Most shows do not pay for themselves.” While Tibbits is best known for its professional summer theater, Delaney said its impact extends much further. The organization presents concerts, comedy, jazz, blues, classical music, movies, and visual arts exhibits. Youth programming includes Tibbits Young Audiences, which stages two productions each year and gives young performers experience in acting, singing, and dancing. Delaney said theater teaches children discipline, teamwork, and confidence in public speaking. The building also serves as a community venue, with local schools, community theatre, and other organizations using the space for productions and events. Delaney said this

Coach Robbie Hattan has brought the magic back to Colon football

COLON ― The combination of Colon football and Robbie Hattan seems to be special. When that combo, they're magical. When they are apart, not as much. Coach Hattan and his Colon Magi are making a deep run in the playoffs once again, just like they did several years ago when that first was the partnership. No. 3 Colon will play in the state semifinals in 8-player Division 1 as the Magi face No. 1-ranked Montabella at 1 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 14, at Greenville High School. MORE: Colon tops Climax-Scotts to get back to the Final Four in 8-player division football The last time Colon made a similar run was 2021, with Hattan also as the head coach, as the Magi made the state finals. Colon was back in the second round the next year before Hattan took his coaching whistle to Pennfield in 2023. In the three years Hattan was at Pennfield, Colon failed to make the playoffs. He returned this fall ― and the magic was back. "Colon is home to me. Coming back was a no-brainer," Hattan said. "I was driving an hour to Pennfield every day from Colon. Having a young family. I was missing a lot
