Charles Brozofsky, a Benzie County farmer, fishes for brook trout in the seven streams that cross his property. But two of those streams on the west end of his farm no longer yield any fish. In 2003, Brozofsky contacted the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality, or DEQ, after noticing an orange, rust-colored stain in one of the streams and what he described as a "nasty, awful smell" emanating from the water. DEQ investigators determined the contamination originated from blueberry-production waste products illegally dumped upstream from the farm. The waste came from Frankfort-based Graceland Fruit Inc., of which MSU Trustee Donald Nugent is president and chief executive officer. The DEQ's Office of Criminal Investigations sought felony charges against the company and Bonney Bros.

Bringing in a mediocre band with a big name doesn't mean good attendance or a profit. This is the lesson ASMSU learned — for the third time. Some members of the undergraduate student government admitted they "dropped the ball" on organizing concerts.

The MSU volleyball team didn't get the magic it was hoping for on the road this weekend. Instead, Northwestern and nationally-ranked Wisconsin appeared to have borrowed Harry Potter's broom as both teams swept the Spartans. The Spartans' hopes of making it to the NCAA Tournament vanished as they dropped both matches on the road, giving them 11 losses in their last 14 matches. The Spartans (12-16 overall, 5-13 Big Ten) were hoping to win the remainder of their last four games but unfortunately it won't be happening this season.
