Brandon Childress takes over Baldwin boys’ basketball as J.J. Eads steps down
BALDWIN - There is a new era beginning for the Baldwin boys’ basketball program. As J.J. Eads, who has been at the helm for the past five seasons, resigns so that he can spend more time with his family, Brandon Childress will take over.

Bovine TB testing locations set up in Northern Michigan
LANSING — Due to the detection of bovine tuberculosis (TB) in wild deer from Benzie, Crawford and Otsego counties during the 2023 deer hunting season, the Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development has designated two bovine TB testing areas. One area includes specific portions of Benzie and Manistee counties, and the other includes portions of Crawford and Otsego counties, Dr. Tim Boring said. Testing all the cattle and bison herds within these areas will help to protect animal health, public health and market access for Michigan’s cattle, meat and milk products, Boring said. “Whenever there is a bovine TB-positive wild deer found outside of the counties where the disease is known to be endemic, it is part of MDARD’s routine response to test all cattle and bison herds within a 10-mile radius of that deer’s location,” said State Veterinarian Dr. Nora Wineland.
