Letter: Proposed Digester Permit Filled With Flaws
This month, our state environmental agency, EGLE, held a public hearing for a groundwater discharge permit for the Fremont Digester.

Season Preview: Girls Basketball
Fremont is the defending WMC Lakes champs and will be looking to defend that title while Newaygo hopes a strong returning class has the talent to challenge in the CSAA Red. Grant also returns varsity experience from a team that came within a game of sharing a conference title and ended the season in the District Finals.

Shelter Gets a Roundup
The Animal Shelter is a haven for lost, abandoned, abused, and sometimes just downright ignored quadrupeds looking to find a forever home. Under extraordinary circumstances given the number of unpartnered dogs and cats out there, the Shelter folks provide for these forsaken felines and deserted dogs.
