Go home for Thanksgiving while you can

Students should go home for Thanksgiving, even if the only magical part of it will be the spread of turkey, stuffing, and cranberry sauce. Some people would rather go home with a friend or a significant other for Thanksgiving break. Though the relationships you make in college are really important, that doesn’t mean you should sacrifice the time you get with your family members.

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.

4-H funding takes significant hit in draft budget for Hillsdale County

Proposed budget cuts for 2027 in Hillsdale County could reduce mental health programming and agricultural education, including 4-H, from the Michigan State University Extension . Mary Bowling of the MSU Extension told commissioners the potential loss would effectively amount to about a third of the organization’s budget during a meeting Nov. 10. “We’re not opposed to a cut, but a third of our budget would affect (our) ability to serve county residents,” she said. The tentative budget calls for a 17% reduction in funding based on the county’s memorandum of understanding, along with reductions involving a program coordinator for 4-H, according to Commissioner Brent Leininger. Bowling said the cuts could affect more than 4-H , including pesticide applicator education, mental health first aid, farm stress assistance and training under ServSafe. Nisha Ritchie, a retired educator and volunteer for 4-H, said reducing support for the coordinator position could have long-term consequences for young people in Hillsdale County. She said she's watched students grow from shy middle schoolers into confident leaders through 4-H. Without adequate coordinator support, she said, club leaders could have fewer resources and less guidance. Leininger said the municipality is facing difficult choices for 2027. The tentative general fund
