It can show up as the quiet gnaw in a child’s stomach before school, or in the concern of a parent while sitting at the kitchen table making the decision between paying for groceries or rent, or the suffering of anyone lying in bed wishing dinner was able to stave off the ache of not enough.

A Kent County man has pled guilty in a deer-poaching case that occurred in September in Montcalm County and is the first case of a violation meeting the new enhanced sentencing guidelines for poaching that became law in Michigan earlier this year.
On Sept. 21, Michigan DNR conservation officers responded to a complaint phoned in to the Report All Poaching (RAP) Line involving an adult suspect who allegedly killed two trophy white-tailed deer in Montcalm County during the 2014 Youth Hunt while acting as a mentor to an 8-year-old hunter. Jacob Powers, 25, of Lowell, Michigan, was arraigned Oct. 3 on the charge of taking two white-tailed deer during the closed season before a magistrate of the 64B District Court at Stanton in Montcalm County.
Pflueger has a Storied History in Michiana
- Details
By Doug Bucha, Antique tackle historian
1907 Pflueger 3-hook Underwater MinnowThe Pflueger Manufacturing Company was one of the six largest fishing tackle manufacturing companies in the United States during the 20th century, all of which originated in Michiana.
The other companies that were a part of the "big six" were South Bend, Paw Paw, Heddon (Dowagiac), Shakespeare (Kalamazoo), and Creek Chub (Garrett, Ind.).
The company started out as the American Fish Hook Company in 1864. They manufactured fishhooks only, as the name implies. In 1886 the company was incorporated and renamed the Enterprise Manufacturing Company of Akron, OH, and under the leadership of Ernest F. Pflueger, the company changed its logo to "Pflueger" at the turn of the century.
