Today's riddle: What do you call a one-legged Big Foot? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• Fibrosan tax abatement vote tabled after resident pushback (wndu.com) — Cassopolis residents packed Monday's village council meeting, prompting officials to delay a vote on a proposed $12 million, 12-year tax abatement for the new Fibrosan fiberglass plant. Neighbors from Cassopolis and Diamond Lake raised health and transparency concerns and called for company representatives to answer questions before any major tax break moves forward.
• During a Tournament, Anglers Stop to Assist Injured Man — Who Accurately Called Their Win (wired2fish.com) — Anglers fishing a Southwest Michigan bass tournament on Diamond Lake in Cassopolis paused their day to help an injured man who had fallen in his boathouse, then went on a late hot streak to win. The story highlights familiar local waters, the challenges of fishing a busy Diamond Lake, and how a good deed and some clutch catches turned a slow day into a memorable victory.
• Official notice: LCMS districts (Oct. 2026) (lcms.org) — A local connection in Cassopolis appears in a wider set of Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod personnel updates, as Rev. Paul Doellinger of Cassopolis is appointed circuit visitor for Saint Joseph Circuit 43. The notice, dated late September, also lists pastoral and congregational changes across Michigan and several other states that may interest church members locally.
