Out with the Old: Site of Reliable Sport Demolished in Holland
The former Reliable Sport site at 254 S River Ave in Holland began demolition on Oct 4 to clear space for a possible housing development. Owned by Dennis and Eileen Ellens, the property was bought in fall 2017 and left vacant after the business moved to Chicago Drive. Spokesman Mark Tanis said plans now focus on a mixed housing range that fits the downtown character, with further details forthcoming.

The Ellens, owners of Hudsonville Ice Cream, plan a housing project and will hold preliminary meetings soon. State funding denial redirected the project to a new offer, with planning commission review surfacing later. Eileen DeVos is Betsy DeVos’s sister. The Ellens aim to build in spring.

Emus Shot By Allegan County Deputies After Wandering
Allegan County deputies fatally shot three emus found wandering in Dorr after owners could not be located. Capt. Chris Kuhn said attempts to corral failed as the birds blocked a roadway and posed danger to drivers. A witness family reported the birds staying on their property and trying to help, but no owner was found. Local officials noted emus are exotic animals with no statewide rules, requiring adherence to local ordinances and coordination with animal control or the DNR for non domestic wildlife. The AP contributed to the report.
