Residents in every corner of St. Joseph County now have a community foundation built to serve them. This year, the Sturgis Area Community Foundation (SACF) expanded its Board of Trustees and committees to include volunteers from across the county, who now help shape decisions about grants, scholarships, and shared priorities such as housing, childcare, education, and economic development. As the Foundation grows, local funds continue to support local needs, and each community keeps its own identity.
Pablo Santiago Hernández was detained by ICE agents in the parking lot of the Sturgis Walmart Monday afternoon after purchasing lunch during a break from work, his wife Mary Kinney-Santiago told Watershed Voice. Santiago Hernández began the process of obtaining legal permanent residency in the United States in 2024. He was still working through that process at the time of his detainment. “My kids and I are devastated, especially my little ones that are his,” Kinney Santiago said. “They can sense the stress, they are not stupid, and he has played an active part in their lives."
Commissioners decided they need to set a special meeting date down the road to allow for more firms to be reached out to and a Request for Proposal (RFP) be created and sent out by the city. They unanimously agreed to table the agenda item and set a special meeting date for December 8, at 6 p.m. with a location to be determined.
