Hollywood Legend Robert Redford has passed at the age of 89-our thoughts and prayers go out to his family, friends, and fans

Charles Robert Redford Jr. (August 18, 1936 – September 16, 2025) was an American actor, producer and director. He received numerous accolades such as an Academy Award, a BAFTA Award, and two Golden Globe Awards, as well as the Cecil B. DeMille Award in 1994, the Screen Actors Guild Life Achievement Award in 1996, the Academy Honorary Award in 2002, the Kennedy Center Honors in 2005, the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2016, and the Honorary César in 2019. He was named by Time as one of the 100 most influential people in the world in 2014.[1][2]

Appearing onstage in the late 1950s, Redford's television career began in 1960, with appearances on Alfred Hitchcock Presents in 1961 and The Twilight Zone in 1962. His greatest Broadway success was as the stuffy newlywed husband in Neil Simon's Barefoot in the Park (1963). Redford made his film debut in War Hunt (1962). He gained success as a leading man in films such as Barefoot in the Park (1967), Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969), Jeremiah Johnson (1972), and The Candidate (1972). He received a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Actor for his performance in the crime caper The Sting (1973). He continued to star in such films as The Way We Were (1973), Three Days of the Condor (1975), All the President's Men (1976), and The Electric Horseman (1979).

Redford made his directorial film debut with Ordinary People (1980), which won four Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Director. During this time, he starred in films such as Brubaker (1980), The Natural (1984), Out of Africa (1985) and Sneakers (1992). He released his third film as a director, A River Runs Through It, in 1992. He went on to receive Best Director and Best Picture nominations in 1995 for Quiz Show. In 1981, Redford cofounded the Sundance Resort and Film Institute. His later film roles include All Is Lost (2013), Truth (2015), Our Souls at Night (2017), and The Old Man & the Gun (2018). Redford portrayed Alexander Pierce in Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014) and Avengers: Endgame (2019); although he had been mostly retired from acting since the latter, having only performed supporting voice roles, he was an executive producer on the television series Dark Winds.

Help Make a Difference with the Michigan Department of Transportation-

Final Adopt-A-Highway cleanup of the year starts Saturday

Fast facts:

The final Adopt-A-Highway of the year is Sept. 20-28.
Adopt-A-Highway volunteers collected more than 36,000 bags of trash last year.

Sections of highway are still available to adopt. Go to www.Michigan.gov/AdoptAHighway for more information.
LANSING, Mich. ­- As sure as the leaves start to turn and fall, thousands of Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) Adopt-A-Highway volunteers will fan out across the state to collect litter from Saturday, Sept. 20, through Sunday, Sept. 28.

This is the third and final scheduled pickup period of the year.

The popular Adopt-A-Highway program began in Michigan in 1990. Today, 35 years later, around 2,600 groups have adopted more than 6,000 miles of state highway. Last year alone, these volunteers collected more than 36,000 bags of trash.

Motorists should be on the lookout for the groups as they clean the roadsides beginning Saturday. Safety is a top priority for the program. When working in a highway right of way, volunteers wear high-visibility, yellow-green safety vests required by federal regulations. MDOT provides free vests and trash bags and arranges to haul away the trash.

Adopting a highway is straightforward. Volunteers include members of civic groups, businesses and families. Crew members must be at least 12 years old, and each group must include at least three people. Groups are asked to adopt a section of highway for at least two years. There is no fee to participate. Adopt-A-Highway signs bearing group names are posted along the stretches of adopted highway.

Sections of highway are available for adoption all over the state. Interested groups can get more information on joining the program at www.Michigan.gov/AdoptAHighway.

MDOT's Adopt-A-Highway Program was established in 1990 to improve the beauty of our highway roadsides with community help.

A 9/11 Stair Climb was held by the Stevensville American Legion at the Lakeshore Al Stockman Stadium in honor of the brave first responders who climbed the stairs of the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001, to save those still inside.

These first responders answered the call, rushed toward danger, and fought through obstacles to save lives. There were 110 floors in each of the twin towers, approximately 2,071 steps; a physically and emotionally demanding feat. Members of the public and first responders from around Berrien County, including members from Berrien County Sheriff's Office and Berrien County Dispatch, came together today to climb this number of steps in honor and memory of the fallen heroes of 9/11.
We will never forget their sacrifice. Thank you to the Berrien County Michigan - Government for their update/story/pictures
