Holland cafe cited for containers of moldy strawberries

Each week, the Ottawa County Department of Public Health releases a round-up of recent safety inspections at restaurants, schools and other facilities. Adhering to proper safety practices is critical to preventing foodborne illness and promoting public health. The Sentinel publishes regular reports on “priority” violations — ones that could directly lead to contamination of food or increase the risk of transmitting a foodborne illness, as well as corrective measures taken. The Sentinel also reports on “priority foundation” violations — ones that could lead to a priority violation. The health department notes “core” violations, but The Sentinel only reports on those if there’s a significant accumulation at a single eatery or the inspection noted more serious violations. All reports are available at miottawa.org/health/environmental/food-services . Biggby Coffee 4676 32nd Ave. in Hudsonville Priority: Numerous items were holding at 44-47 degrees for an unknown amount of time in the squat cooler near the espresso machine, including milk, half-and-half, cold foam, whipped cream and oat milk.

Ottawa County to consider decade-long contract with Axon

The Ottawa County Board will soon consider a decade-long contract with Axon Enterprise, a manufacturer of weapons and technological for military and law enforcement uses, totaling $14.6 million. The contract, which would run Jan. 1, 2027, to Dec. 31, 2036, largely focuses on a new records management system. “In practice, it does much more than that,” Sheriff Eric DeBoer told the Finance and Administrative Committee on Nov. 10. “In consolidates our existing (agreement) and the nine separate quotes into one.” The contract also includes body cameras, in-car cameras, interview-room recordings, evidence management, drones, virtual reality training and tasers. Under the agreement, corrections deputies would receive the same body cameras and virtual reality training as road deputies. DeBoer said the contract includes multiple services because the municipality receives a discount when they're bundled. If purchased separately, he said, the items would total $20.86 million. The contract would have no new budget impact in 2027 or 2028. In 2029, $1.4 million would be paid with dedicated state public safety funding and marijuana tax revenue, and $1.41 million would be paid from the general fund. The new records system would include the Holland Police Department, Grand Haven Police Department, Zeeland Police Department and

Back 40 BBQ expands menu, plans to open food trailer

Back 40 BBQ has expanded beyond smoked pretzels, adding barbecue, smoked cream cheese dips and plans for a food trailer heading into 2027. The family-owned business — run by Ryan DeCheney, his wife Holly, and their children Kaylin and Lily — has grown since a previous feature in July. The idea formed after a friend asked DeCheney whether he'd ever smoked hard pretzels. A lifelong passion for cooking (and a smoker he'd purchased the previous year) encouraged experimentation. The result was Back 40 BBQ, which recently released a holiday cranberry orange pretzel blend, adding to existing flavors garlic parmesan, maple bourbon and white cheddar jalapeno. The business also unveiled two smoked cream cheese dips (caramel apple pie and jalapeno popper) and had a soft launch during an event by Zomburgers. “The goal has always been to serve food,” DeCheney told The Sentinel. “That's my passion." The business now has a tent to serve chicken, pulled pork sandwiches, ribs, macaroni and cheese, maple bourbon coleslaw and more. The company caters events and offers corporate gift boxes. More: Holland family turns smoked pretzel hobby into full-time business DeCheney said the next natural step is opening a food trailer, which the family hopes

Zeeland Twp. succeeds in remanding PA 233 lawsuit back to Ottawa County

A lawsuit filed by Zeeland Township that aims to see Michigan’s Public Act 233 declared unconstitutional has been remanded to Ottawa County’s 20th Circuit Court. RWE , the global energy company named as the lawsuit's defendant, “removed" the case to the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Michigan in August shortly after the initial complaint was filed July 7. The case was temporarily assigned to Judge Paul L. Maloney. RWE has a pending application for Silver Maple Solar, a large-scale solar development, before the Michigan Public Service Commission. The project would be located in Zeeland and Jamestown Townships near the Ottawa Executive Airport. Maloney granted the municipality's motion to remand the case to Ottawa County's 20th Circuit Court on Nov. 10. “First, any decision by this court regarding whether Public Act 233 violates the Michigan Constitution is not binding on (state) courts, so exercising jurisdiction here would not be useful,” Maloney wrote. “Second, exercising jurisdiction over this action would not be fair. The court will not cross the line into state sovereignty by exercising jurisdiction over a case that involves purely questions of state law, especially when many of those questions require interpreting a state constitution.” As of

Week 2 provided us with lots of NCAA women’s wrestling action, including a huge upset involving top-10 teams, a strong representation at the Bill Farrell. and impressive individual performances. Upset Alert: #7 Grand Valley State Takes Down #2 Iowa Grand Valley State knocked off powerhouse Iowa, 22-20, on Sunday, handing the Hawkeyes their second dual loss in the four-year history of the program. The event took place at the Throwdown on the Yorktown III Duals — a unique team round-robin hosted on the flight deck of the USS Yorktown, an aircraft carrier stationed in the Charleston Harbor of Mount Pleasant, South Carolina. After finishing fourth at the inaugural women’s NCAA Championships in March, Grand Valley State has made some noise to start this season, following up a notable performance at the Tiffin Open by posting a signature win over the Iowa women. The lightweights made it happen for the Lakers by winning five of the first six matches, beginning with Katelyn Valdez’s dramatic pin in the opening bout. Iowa’s Sterling Dias scored a go-ahead turn with less than 15 seconds remaining and was looking for another when Valdez held the Hawkeye on her back for a pin that was called
