- Michigan's midterm candidates have less than three days to reach all the voters they can.
Calhoun County saw visits from two nationally watched candidates Saturday: Democrat Sean McCann, running for a U.S. House seat against Congressman Bill Huizenga (R), and Republican John James, challenging Jocelyn Benson (D) for governor.
They campaigned with other candidates up and down the ballot in Battle Creek, thanking volunteers for their support.
They also acknowledged that voters have had enough of nonstop political messaging.
"They're sick and tired of the ads, frankly," Huizenga said. "You know, they're tired of sort of those outside forces coming in and trying to direct where Michigan is going to go."

- Palisades Nuclear Power Plant in Michigan back on track to restart by next year

- Date posted
- 12 days ago
- Description
- U.S. Secretary of Energy Chris Wright says Palisades Nuclear Power Plant in Covert Township is back on track to restart by the end of 2026.
"This plant will restart this year, I hope by the end of next month," Wright said. "We hope at the end in November, but it is very close."
On the shoreline of Lake Michigan, Palisades -- owned by Holtec International -- would be the first decommissioned plant in the nation to ever come back online.
The promising news comes after an issue in August paused refueling at the plant.
According to Holtec International, crews were loading radioactive fuel rods into the reactor when an upright fuel assembly tilted. The issue has been resolved, according to Holtec International.

- A Grand Rapids Police Department K-9 is recovering after an unusual snack led to surgery.
Afterall, for a dog whose whole career centers around investigating, K-9 Rocco leaves no stone unturned.
Or, rocks uneaten.
“I made some old beef sandwiches in a crock pot,” said Austin Diekevers, Rocco’s handler. “Usually feed our chickens the scraps, and I threw it over my deck, and some of the crock pot juice got on some of my landscaping rocks.”
Once the rocks were coated, Rocco began to indulge.
X-Rays showed all the rocks lodged in Rocco’s stomach, and that he’d need surgery to remove them.

- According to residents, there’s a sound in Comstock Township keeping them up late at night. The township addressed it in a Facebook post, suggesting it is being caused by an energy plant operated by NorthStar Clean Energy.
“NorthStar says the increased sound comes from the station’s exhaust system, which needs to be replaced. Baffles inside the system were removed because of potential safety risks to employees, and that has made the facility noticeably louder," the township’s post reads.“
The company adds that wind and weather can affect how far the sound carries.
“I’ll tell you what it sounds like. It sounds like a jet engine, an airplane getting ready to take off from an aircraft carrier," Dick Breese, 86, said.

- Michigan Deputy Secretary of State Aghogho Edevbie told News Channel 3 he's confident the state’s election will be fair and that every vote will be counted as early voting wraps up this weekend, even as Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson runs for governor.
The Michigan Secretary of State’s Office oversees elections in the state. Benson is on the ballot in the governor’s race against Congressman John James, prompting her office to create what Edevbie described as a “firewall” separating Benson from decisions directly affecting the contest.
“She’s chosen to put up a firewall,” Edevbie said. “So she’s not involved in any of the decisions in directly affecting the governor’s race. Those decisions fall to me and our election director, Jonathan Broder, and we’re working together to ensure that people have confidence in this election, just like they always have.”

- Voters across Michigan are hitting the polls as the clock ticks down to election day, and while the whole state gets a say, a few counties will be critical for each campaign to win.
In all, the state has 83 counties but, but the three with the most people obviously have a major impact. Chief among them is Wayne County.
"It's the home of Detroit, biggest county in the state," Dante Chinni, director of the American communities project at Michigan State University, said. "Crucial are a couple of things there. One is the vote out of Detroit. Democrats rely pretty heavily in statewide races on turning out a lot of African Americans in the city. They need the black vote to come out big for them."

- Description
- Utah authorities formally linked another unsolved murder dating back more than 50 years ago to one of the most prolific serial killers in American history: Ted Bundy.
The Summit County sheriff and county attorney made the announcement during a news conference on Tuesday, as well as disclosed the findings that led investigators to identify Bundy as the murderer, and explained their decision to close the cold case.
Officials also identified the victim as Melissa Ann Smith, a 17-year-old girl whose body was found in a wooded area near Toll Canyon in Summit Park in October 1974. Her death had been listed as an unsolved case -- and was believed by state authorities to be connected to Bundy.
"This DNA evidence, when considered alongside evidence related to pattern, motive, means, and opportunity, establishes that Ted Bundy was responsible for Melissa Ann Smith's murder," Summit County Attorney Margaret Olson said during the news briefing.
