ProductsCar crash takes out power pole
A Prairieville Township officer on patrol around 12:45 a.m. Jan. 30 heard someone
calling for help in the area of Parker Road and Oak Drive. The officer noticed a damaged
guardrail near the intersection. A 36-year-old Kalamazoo woman with minor injuries was
near a crashed vehicle on the other side of the railing. The woman had been northbound
on Parker Road near Oak Drive when her vehicle left the roadway and crashed into a guy
wire for a telephone pole, shearing off the pole. The vehicle continued across Oak Drive
and crashed into a guardrail, going over the rail and coming to rest at the edge of Crooked
Lake. The woman was arrested for operating a vehicle while she was intoxicated.Another catalytic converter stolen
A 63-year-old Middleville man called police at 2:32 p.m. Jan. 15 to report the catalytic
converter had been cut out of his vehicle as it sat in his driveway in the 5000 block of Crane
Road in Thornapple Township. The man said he saw headlights through his garage window
around 4 a.m., and looked outside to see what appeared to be a dark brown or gray older
Ford Ranger backing out of his driveway. He thought the vehicle was just turning around,
but when he started his Ford van that morning it was unusually loud, and he saw footprints
and an imprint in the ground from where the suspect had laid down to take out the convert-
er. The man said the suspect might have thought no one was on the property.Greenhouse theft leads to chase
Police were dispatched to the 9000 block of Norris Road in Orangeville Township at
11:10 a.m. Jan. 16 after a 62-year-old woman called to report to report a woman was tak-
ing property from her greenhouse. The caller said she saw the suspect leave the green-
house in a truck. She followed the vehicle, flashed her lights, and the driver stopped. Some
aluminum racks the suspect had taken from the greenhouse were in the back of the truck,
she told police. She confronted the suspect, who claimed to have permission from the
owner to be in the greenhouse. When the woman told the suspect she was the owner, the
suspect drove off. The woman followed the suspect at a high rate of speed, and the alumi-
num racks fell out of the back of the suspect’s truck. The woman was unable to stop in
time, and ran over them. The suspect got away, and the case remains under investigation.Delivery mistake prompts confrontation
Police were dispatched to the 11000 block of Lindsey Road in Prairieville Township at
2:12 p.m. Jan. 22 for a complaint of a 70-year-old Kalamazoo woman attempting to hit a
42-year-old male resident with her vehicle. The woman told police she was delivering
food and her GPS led her to the driveway, which turned out to be the wrong residence.
She honked for the resident to come outside and, when he did, he swore at her. She swore
back, and said he then picked up a rock and threw it at her car, breaking her windshield.
The man told police that, after a heated exchange, the woman attempted to run him over
with her vehicle. He said he ran from her and fell down, hurting his back. When he fell,
he saw the rock he uses to prop open his door, picked it and threw it at her vehicle as hard
as he could. After that, she left. Then the man called 911. Information was forwarded to
the prosecutor’s office.Glenn Darrel Antisdel Jr., 49, of Kalam-

The Tri-River Museum group will meet
Tuesday, Feb. 15, at the Lake Odessa Muse-
um Complex on Emerson Street. Membership
has expanded northwest as far as Sand Lake.
Demolition has begun on the former East
Elementary school building on Third Avenue
in anticipation of new construction for a
major project to benefit senior citizens in need
of care. Publicity about the project came a few
months ago. One part of it could be a walking
trail to connect with the proposed Jordan Lake
Trail which the Barry County segment has
been completed and in full use for many
months. The property for the new health facil-
ity is the former site of Lake Odessa Schools,
which included East Elementary, the junior/
senior high school as well as shop and ag
classes. The most visible demolition is remov-
al of all the windows.
Plans are for the street lamp project to
again feature photographs of veterans twice
this year. For the Memorial Day project, the
pictures of deceased veterans will be dis-played. For Veterans Day in November, the
images of living veterans will be used. Each
will be for one-month.
For hockey fans, an outdoor game will be
played on a college football field Feb. 26. One
of the teams will be Tampa Bay LIghtning,
which has won the Stanley Cup in the past
two consecutive years. The cup is rotating
among the 2021 winning team members and
the staff and will be in Big Rapids, probably
at Ferris State University. Big Rapids is the
hometown of alumnus Brian Garlock. He was
scheduled to have the cup in august 2021 but
on the eve of its arrival, he had symptoms and
tested positive for COVID-19 so all of the
plans for its one-day appearance had to be
canceled. The Big Rapids date is Feb. 19. The
game on Feb. 26 will be in Nashville, Tenn.
The Red Cross will be in Lake Odessa
Monday, Feb. 7, at Fellowship Hall on Fourth
Avenue from noon to 5:45 p.m. Donors are
