The Battle Creek City Commission has unanimously selected Amanda Zimmerlin to become the city’s next manager, offering her the position following a national search triggered by Rebecca Fleury’s retirement last November.

Zimmerlin, who currently leads Clayton, Ohio, emerged as the standout candidate after commission interviews and a public forum.

With previous roles in both Clayton and Springdale, Ohio, and advanced degrees from the University of Dayton, Zimmerlin brings tested experience in city administration.

She outlined priorities for Battle Creek, highlighting improved housing and revised zoning codes, as well as seeking federal and state funds to bolster small businesses.

Mayor Mark Behnke lauded her collaborative style and strong public engagement.

Contract talks and a background check remain before Zimmerlin’s appointment becomes official, with approval targeted for September.

The post pays between $180,000 and $222,000.

Over sixty years ago, construction of a concrete channel along the Kalamazoo River promised protection from downtown Battle Creek flooding but brought lasting consequences.

The project displaced The Bottoms, a culturally rich Black and working-class neighborhood, forever reshaping the city's landscape.

Now, city leaders are launching an ambitious plan to remove the channel, aiming to restore the river’s natural flow and heal ecological damage.

Plans include demolishing the Monroe Street Dam and replacing concrete with flood-tolerant vegetation, creating a new river corridor for recreation and community gathering.

Partnerships with engineers and city surveys invite resident feedback to make the project responsive and inclusive.

While some recall the pain of past urban renewal, leaders like Pastor Monique French express cautious hope that the process will foster both neighborhood revival and economic opportunity.

This local movement mirrors broader efforts across Michigan and the U.S. to restore lost neighborhoods and rivers, seeking to balance history, equity, and growth for a more vibrant Battle Creek.

Riverside Golf Course, a longtime Battle Creek landmark, faces major changes as redevelopment plans stir local debate.

The 134-acre site at 245 E Columbia Avenue is for sale at $1.899 million, with Interstate Capital Investments (ICI) eyeing its transformation into mixed residential, commercial, and industrial zones.

Community members voiced concerns at a recent meeting, especially about the industrial aspect, fearing negative effects on property values, small businesses, and neighborhood character.

Some residents questioned whether local infrastructure and the city’s long-term plan could support such a large project.

ICI partner Todd Krajniak stressed the need for public input, saying their goal is to adjust plans and minimize conflict.

Potential changes include more green spaces and parks.

The city’s planning division will review the proposal before it goes to the commission, with public hearings set for the coming months.

The final decision will be made by the city commission.

On August 12, 2025, heavy rain led to major flooding on Yale Street in Battle Creek, Michigan, stalling vehicles and stranding residents.

Emmett Street was also submerged, disrupting traffic and daily life.

Amid rising waters, four neighbors took action, clearing debris from storm drains after being inspired by a helpful pickup truck driver.

This "street family" emphasized their belief in serving the community, drawing on personal values and a deep sense of local pride.

While such neighborly acts are celebrated, officials urge caution and recommend contacting authorities during hazardous flooding.

After a severe storm in May, the city expanded cleanup efforts, working diligently to clear blocked streets like Merwood Drive and Grand Boulevard.

Residents are encouraged to stay alert to weather advisories and city updates to help protect their families and neighborhoods.

Michigan's rivers and streams are grappling with rising contamination from neonicotinoid pesticides, or "neonics," which threaten both aquatic life and human health.

High levels of chemicals like imidacloprid, clothianidin, and thiamethoxam have been found in water systems from farmland to city neighborhoods.

A comprehensive 2025 report reveals that neonic concentrations in Michigan’s surface waters often surpass safety thresholds, especially in waterways feeding into the Great Lakes, including the Saginaw and Grand Rivers.

Neonics persist in the environment, affecting vital aquatic insects such as mayflies and midges—key food for local fish like bass and trout.

Despite clear environmental concerns, proposed bans on neonics have stalled in state government. Ongoing advocacy stresses the urgent need for policy action to safeguard Michigan’s water and wildlife.

Michigan State Police and local agencies are ramping up enforcement against impaired driving as Labor Day weekend approaches.

From August 15 to September 1, the 'Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over' campaign will bring heightened patrols and sobriety checkpoints statewide.

Last year, almost 41% of Michigan’s traffic fatalities were linked to alcohol or drugs, with 297 deaths from alcohol-related crashes and 256 from drug-involved incidents.

Over recent Labor Day weekends, impaired drivers accounted for more than 43% of traffic-related deaths.

Alicia Sledge of the Michigan Office of Highway Safety Planning stresses the importance of choosing a sober ride.

State law prohibits driving with a BAC of 0.08 or higher, but officers can arrest at any level if impairment is apparent.

A public awareness campaign, supported by federal funds, urges residents to plan ahead and prevent needless tragedies.

Making responsible choices this holiday will help keep Michigan’s roads safe for all.

GAYLORD, MI — Michigan’s Natural Resources Commission (NRC) has unanimously pledged to restore year-round coyote hunting statewide, intensifying an issue that has divided hunters and animal advocates.

The NRC announced its intention to amend rules and allow coyote hunting year-round on public and private land, responding to sustained pushback from hunting organizations.

This move reverses a 2024 decision that had temporarily closed coyote season from mid-April to mid-July, aiming to protect vulnerable pups.

Key figures like Commissioner David Nyberg and Michigan United Conservation Clubs’ Justin Tomei stress the importance of expanded hunting rights, while animal welfare groups argue such changes are inhumane and threaten ecological stability.

Although the NRC’s stance is clear, official changes are pending and expected before the 2026 furbearer regulation cycle.

The debate continues as both supporters and critics closely monitor the evolving policy landscape for Michigan’s coyote management.

Love can be uplifting, but it sometimes pushes people to the brink, blurring the line between passion and tragedy.

TV One's 'Fatal Attraction' returns with an intense look at a real-life Kalamazoo case, highlighting how love’s dark side can end in devastation.

The upcoming episode, "Controlled by Love," airing at 9 p.m. on Monday, August 11, explores the chilling events surrounding the 2019 death of Nikkole Riojas.

Her on-again, off-again boyfriend, Anthony Ozomaro, faced trial for her murder, eventually receiving a 100-year sentence.

This local case, filled with heartbreak and loss, attracted significant attention in the courtroom and beyond.

The episode can be seen on DIRECTV channel 328, the TV One app, and other streaming platforms, including complimentary access via philo.com.

While love is essential, it must never lead to pain or tragedy.

Secret Little Hack

One little-known local tip about Battle Creek is that there is a hidden gem of a park called Leila Arboretum.

This beautiful park features a variety of unique gardens, sculptures, and nature trails to explore.

It's a perfect spot for a peaceful walk or picnic, and many locals don't realize it exists.

Marshall High School has unveiled its new artificial turf field, marking a remarkable milestone for local athletes and students.

This state-of-the-art surface ensures reliable play and minimizes the upkeep challenges of natural grass, offering a year-round, resilient field for all sports and activities.

The vibrant red and black “M” at midfield and bold “Marshall” lettering in the end zones capture school pride and energy.

Major financial support came from the Marshall Community Credit Union with a generous $650,000 pledge, joined by Ford’s $150,000 contribution, demonstrating deep community investment in youth programs.

The project not only benefits football and soccer, but also marching band and cheerleading, fostering a dynamic hub for local engagement.

August 9 brought joy to Battle Creek as both the Calhoun County Animal Center and Humane Society of South Central Michigan hosted heartwarming adoption events.

Dogs and cats, including long-time residents like Snickers, Ed, and Tillie, finally found their families, while newcomers swiftly captured the hearts of attendees.

These events showcased not only the dedication of local shelters but also the remarkable compassion shining throughout our community.

Support poured in as residents connected with pets and vendors, giving many animals the fresh start they deserve.

The Battle Creek Buzz continues to highlight local adoptions in our Homeward Bound section, and we’re now seeking a sponsor to uplift this feature.

Instead of traditional payments, the sponsor’s donation will go directly to both shelters—receiving recognition and a lasting thank you from Battle Creek.

Together, we can keep tails wagging across our city.

The Humane Society of South Central Michigan is introducing four lively Aussie/Terrier mix puppies looking for loving homes: Parker, Paige, Payton, and Paxton.

Born June 2025, these pups are brimming with personality and affection.

Parker adores people and seeks attention, while shy Paige quickly blossoms into a playful ball of energy once she’s settled in.

Payton balances fierce independence with sweet affection, and Paxton, the most vocal, never goes unnoticed.

All are quick learners and continue to gain confidence with the help of the shelter’s dedicated volunteers.

To thrive, these medium-sized dogs need a physically fenced yard and are not suited for apartment living.

This adorable group does well with kids and may adjust to other pets.

Meet them soon—they could be the joy your home is waiting for.

Multiplying Your Time, Energy, and Impact

Chapters 4–6 of Who Not How

This week we continue our study of Who Not How with some powerful lessons on leverage, freedom, and exponential growth.

In Chapter 4, the authors show us how Whos multiply our time.

Every task you hand off to the right person gives you back hours you can invest in your highest-value work.

Instead of being stuck in the weeds, you gain freedom to focus on what only you can do.

Chapter 5 dives into how this mindset also multiplies your energy. When you’re surrounded by people who share your vision and enthusiasm, work becomes exciting instead of draining.

The right partnerships actually fuel you forward, creating momentum instead of burnout.

Finally, in Chapter 6, we see how Whos multiply your impact. Alone, you can only reach so far.

But with a network of skilled and motivated partners, your influence, reach, and results expand far beyond what you could achieve solo.

The message is clear: stop trying to be the hero of every story. Instead, build a team of Whos who help you multiply your time, energy, and impact.
