In Worth Township, leaders are looking for a new trustee after board member Steve Kovac was appointed as township clerk during Wednesday night’s meeting. The move filled an urgent need for handling elections and overdue bills. Supervisor Walt Badgerow swore Kovac into office, and under Michigan law, he’ll serve until November’s election unless he runs to keep the seat. The board now has 45 days to replace him as trustee. Officials also said they’ve submitted their financial compliance plan to the state treasury. The next board meeting is April 15th.

Border officers in Southern Ontario have made 211 impaired-driving arrests at local border crossings since January of last year. The Canada Border Services Agency says its officers remain on alert to stop drivers under the influence of alcohol or drugs before they reach Canadian roads. Recent arrests at the Blue Water Bridge in Point Edward and the Ambassador Bridge in Windsor involved drivers from Michigan and Ohio. Both were turned over to police. Officials remind travelers that impaired driving is a serious crime in Canada.
