A The National Weather Service in Grand Rapids has issued a FLOOD WARNING for Grand River At Jackson affecting Jackson County and Grand River At Lansing affecting Ingham County. Widespread rainfall is expected Monday morning through Wednesday morning. Rain amounts between 1 and 3 inches are expected across all of Southern Michigan, with locally higher amounts possible. Snow melt will also continue. This will cause rises on rivers, creeks, and streams, and allow water to spill into low-lying areas along rivers. In addition, rainfall and warmer temperatures will increase the likelihood for river ice to break up and travel down stream. Large pieces of ice floating in the river may later pile up as they travel downstream, particularly near bends in rivers. This could create ice jams and increase the threat for flooding immediately upstream. FLOOD WARNING for the Grand River at Jackson from Tuesday evening until further notice. At 8:30 PM Sunday the stage was 9.6 feet. Flood stage is 14.0 feet. Minor Flooding is forecast. The river is forecast to rise above flood stage by Tuesday before midnight and continue to rise to near 14.5 feet by Friday morning. Impact, at 15.0 feet: Expect moderate flooding of…

A FLOOD WATCH IS IN EFFECT FROM MONDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. The National Weather Service in Grand Rapids has issued a Flood Watch for portions of central Michigan, south central Michigan, southwest Michigan, and west central Michigan including Jackson County. The Flood Watch is in effect from Monday afternoon through Wednesday afternoon. 1 to 3 inches of rain is expected from Monday through Wednesday morning. Locally higher amounts are likely. The rainfall, combined with a melting snowpack and a frozen ground could cause flooding across the area. Mainstem rivers and streams are already high, and will be rising more and could begin to flood areas around them. Ice jams resulting from the breakup of ice currently on the rivers will also be possible. An area of high pressure centered over Missouri this morning will track up the Ohio Valley today. This fair weather system will provide the region with mainly dry weather and close to normal temperatures. Later tonight the southerly flow strengthens around the backside of this departing high pressure system. As a result some precipitation will start moving in. A brief period of mixed precipitation will be possible at the onset...but it is forecasted to transition quickly…

By Alexandra Cash JTV Staff Writer It all began with a man, a horse, and a wagon. In 1918 William Patton Emmons, owner of an already successful excavating business, had what he needed to begin a business that would serve a local community for 100 years and more into the future. There are few businesses in Jackson that can boast 100 years of operation. This year, Emmons Service, Inc. joins long standing businesses like European Bakery and Brown’s Flowers and Gifts as centennial businesses. “An accountant shared a statistic with me that only 30% of family businesses make it past second generation,” said Darbi Rowley, Vice President of Emmons Service, Inc. Rowley is the great-granddaughter of William Emmons and she has helped her family beat that statistic of becoming the fourth generation of leadership at the company. In 1918, when William began the business, trash was being collected from residential areas by horse drawn wagons. He had many “teams” as they were called: a man, a horse, and a wagon. As the business grew and technology of the day progressed the company shifted toward hauling with motorized trucks which made for cleaner and more efficient collection. After 25 years of…
