Some janitors at Oakland International Airport pulled in $200,000 or more in a single year, payroll records show, including eight who out-earned Oakland's own mayor in 2023. That eyebrow-raising pay came under scrutiny after accusations that managers were steering the most lucrative overtime shifts to favored workers, and that some employees were paying kickbacks to get them. An outside investigation has now delivered its verdict: favoritism, yes. Kickbacks, no.

At Hager Park in Georgetown Township, visitors can walk from the Pacific coast to the Atlantic — all without leaving Ottawa County. The park's sprawling relief map of the United States, complete with state lines, rivers and mountain ranges rendered in raised berms and gravel outlines, has drawn families for decades. But after more than 50 years of exposure to Michigan weather, the landmark had fallen into disrepair, until a local teenager decided to bring it back.

Officials say Piedmont Memorial Park is not in compliance with state cemetery law; visits remain permitted.

Indiana anglers wanting to get another opportunity for some robust fishing amid the unseasonably warm weather will get the chance. Trout can be found in 24 of Indiana’s 92 counties, with the majority found in the northern part of the state.

The Indiana Hoosiers overcame a 12-point second half deficit to knock off Western Kentucky 79-74 in Evansville to close out the exhibition season. Both teams struggled from the field as the game lacked rhythm due to a combined 52 fouls and 62 free throw attempts.

Western Kentucky’s Teagan Moore had 30 points to lead all scorers but the Hoosiers came back largely thanks to a lineup that consisted of Sam A

ROYAL OAK — When Zachary Totz tried to eat at the Sign of the Beefcarver Oct. 24, the line wrapped around the block. So the next day, the restaurant's last day serving its hand-carved roast beef, Totz arrived nearly three hours before the Sign of the Beefcarver opened at 11 a.m. to make sure he'd have a chance to eat there one last time. Totz, 37, of Warren, was young when he first ate at Sign of the Beefcarver, as he used to go with his grandmother growing up after a trip to Cranbrook or the De

Beating back-to-back ranked teams wasn’t enough for South Carolina (4-3, 2-3 SEC) to get ranked itself. Following the Gamecocks’ dramatic 27-24 win over No. 11 Tennessee on Saturday — which came two weeks after USC dominated No. 16 Florida — South Carolina did not crack the Top 25 of either the AP Poll or USA Today Coaches Poll, both of which were released Sunday afternoon. The Gamecocks, though, moved to the cusp of being ranked for the first time since September 2025, when they were ranked 11t
