Commercial-News · Allegan, MI
Nearby: Allegan, MIThe future of the dam that created Lake Allegan remains unsettled after Michigan regulators gave Consumers Energy more time to negotiate over its proposed sale of 13 hydroelectric dams. The Michigan Public Service Commission voted Nov. 5 to extend its deadline for ruling on the proposal, which includes the Calkins Bridge Dam on the Kalamazoo River. It was the second delay in the case. Any settlement must be filed by 5 p.m. Dec. 9. The commission plans to issue a final order Dec. 17 if no settlement is filed. A further extension would require a joint request from a majority of the parties in the case. The City of Allegan built the dam in 1935, and its power plant began commercial operation in 1936. The city operated it until Consumers Energy bought it in 1969. The dam holds back the Kalamazoo River to form the roughly 1,600-acre Lake Allegan. It is the only hydroelectric plant Consumers owns on the river and can generate about 2.55 megawatts.

Nearby: Hartford, MINew Marlboro — Hartford Symphony principal clarinetist Sangwon Lee will join cellist Anne Legêne and pianist Larry Wallach for an afternoon of chamber music spanning Beethoven’s classical elegance, Max Bruch’s Romantic lyricism, and Robert Muczynski’s jazz-inflected intensity at 3 p.m. on Sunday, November 15, at Southfield Church. Sunday’s program: Beethoven — Trio in B-flat for Clarinet, Cello, and Piano, Op. 11 Babin — Hillandale Waltzes for Clarinet and Piano (variations on a theme by J. N. Hummel) Muczynski — Fantasy Trio for Clarinet, Cello, and Piano, Op. 26 Bruch; Four Pieces for Clarinet, Cello, and Piano, from “Eight Pieces,” Op. 83 Sunday’s program demonstrates how composers have exploited the clarinet’s expressivity over nearly two centuries, from the elegance of Beethoven and the lyricism of Bruch to Victor Babin’s 1947 waltz variations and Robert Muczynski’s late-20th-century modernism.
