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.

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

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.

She said she's watched students grow from shy middle schoolers into confident leaders through 4-H.
