Have you heard that Munising now has a 4-H Youth Garden Club? Community gardening benefits participants and the larger community by supporting food security, promoting a healthy and aesthetic environment and improving mental and physical health through self expression, being part of a team, doing physical activity and promoting positive eating habits. Youth gain hands-on experience while also learning about food systems, the local environment, and learning by doing.
It is safe to say that things went pretty well for the Munising track and field teams last spring. The boys’ team won conference and regional titles and capped things off with a Division 3 U.P. Championship. The girls’ had plenty of success themselves, winning a regional title as well. The Mustangs hope for similar things to happen this season, but things will be a bit more difficult as they move up to Division 2.
If you’ve been to the Munising Farmers’ and Artisans’ Market in the past few years, you’re probably familiar with artist Julie Highlen’s work. Whether soaring trees on canvas or bright-eyed owls on wooddisc miniatures, her unmistakable style brings the viewer a feeling of joy.

LANSING, Mich. – The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) is announcing the release of a new function to the MI Bridges website where Michiganders apply for benefits like Medicaid, food assistance and more. The new application tracker will allow residents to follow the progress of their benefits application online rather than waiting for a determination letter or having to call into a local office.
What is health, really? Contrary to popular belief, health is not surface level. Health is more than looking a certain way.
On Easter Sunday, Eden said “Goodbye” to Pastor Tera Kossow. Pastor Tera accepted a call as Assistant to the Bishop of the Western North Dakota Synod of the ELCA. We feel very fortunate for the time Pastor Tera was with us and wish her all the best in her new call. While it was hard to say goodbye to Pastor Tera, Eden sent her off with the great Lutheran tradition of potluck.
Q: I am bothered terribly by itchy, tearing eyes and clear runny nose every spring and summer; my doctor advised me to try one of the anti-allergy medications that can be purchased without a prescription. They do seem to help, but I have to take them for more than a week before they seem to start working. Is there any better way to manage this problem?
The Superior Central track and field teams expect to have a good number of athletes this spring. While first year head coach Todd Spranger admits his team is a bit on the young side, he still sees some good things ahead for the girls’ and boys’ teams as they get the season under way.
