The Munising School Public Library is once again partnering with Feeding America West Michigan to offer free graband- go lunches through the Gather 2 Grow program.

Meals are available at no cost to all youth ages 18 and under as well as disabled adults up to age 26. Lunches must be picked up in person at the library, with distribution running Monday through Friday from noon to 1 p.m.

All meals are nut-free. Vegetarian and gluten-free options are available. The initiative aims to support local families by nourishing kids’ bodies and minds throughout the summer.

Dausey wins re-election to co-op board

Steve Dausey will continue serving on the Alger Delta Cooperative Electric Association Board of Directors after winning re-election in a contested race for District 9, which includes Hiawatha and Maple Ridge townships. Dausey defeated challenger Marci Taskey to retain his seat for another three-year term.

A lifelong resident of Alger County, Dausey works for the City of Munising and volunteers as a firefighter with the Tri-County and Munising Fire Departments.

In uncontested races, Darryl Small (District 1, Big Bay) and Jesse Betters (District 6, Nathan/ White Rapids) were also re-elected and will serve additional terms.

Camel Riders

Lakeside Resort back in business

Camel Riders Lakeside Resort is back in business and now accepting reservations for its lakeside cabins through Airbnb. The new owners say they’ve been overwhelmed by the community’s support and are excited to welcome guests to the property on the Corner Lake Chain of Lakes.

The resort has sparked plenty of questions — especially about the fate of its restaurant. According to a Facebook post, the answer is yes: The restaurant will return. However, the building was converted into a cabin after the original restaurant closed, and bringing it back will require significant renovations.

For booking information, Camel Riders Lakeside Resort is on Facebook.
