City considers barring Hardway from council seat

The Hillsdale City Council may refuse to seat Ward 1 councilwoman-elect Jill Hardway. The council’s Operations and Governance Subcommittee held a meeting Nov. 10 to consider Hardway’s eligibility for office. The meeting addressed concerns brought by city administrators over Hardway’s company, JB Office Building LLC. The subcommittee reviewed Hardway’s eligibility under the city charter, which prohibits anyone in default to the city from holding elected office. Under Hillsdale’s charter, the city council decides the eligibility of its own members. Unless the council determines Hardway ineligible, she will be sworn in Dec. 1.

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

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
