The SS Badger Continues Operations as Last Coal-Burning Steamship in the U.S.

The SS Badger Continues Operations as Last Coal-Burning Steamship in the U.S.

The SS Badger, built in 1953, remains the last large coal-burning steamship in active service in the United States. It operates as a working ferry, not a preserved relic, crossing Lake Michigan between Ludington, Michigan, and Manitowoc, Wisconsin. The vessel covers a 60-mile route in approximately four hours, transporting cars, trucks, and passengers. The SS Badger is also the final vessel on the Great Lakes powered by Skinner Unaflow engines, which were manufactured in Erie, Pennsylvania. Both the Michigan and Wisconsin historical commissions recognized the SS Badger as a historic site in 1997, making it a listed landmark in two states while still functioning as a vital part of the highway network. The ferry is known for its reliability, rarely missing a sailing due to weather conditions. Its continued operation is attributed to the economic reality that building a bridge across Lake Michigan would be significantly more expensive than maintaining the ferry service.

Youth for Christ Lawsuit Against Leland Township Over Ministry Permit Could Reach U.S. Supreme Court

Youth for Christ Lawsuit Against Leland Township Over Ministry Permit Could Reach U.S. Supreme Court

Youth for Christ, a religious organization, has filed a federal lawsuit against Leland Township in northern Michigan. The lawsuit stems from the township's denial of a permit for Youth for Christ to conduct ministry activities at a building it owns, which overlooks Leland's historic Fishtown harbor. The building is located in a commercially zoned business district. Jacob Wheeler, editor of the Glen Arbor Sun, suggests that this case possesses characteristics that could lead it to be heard by the U.S. Supreme Court. The dispute centers on the group's desire to operate its youth ministry in the location and the township's regulatory decisions regarding land use and permits.

The Southeast may get a temporary break after recent flooding rains.

Representative Tlaib Highlights Corporate Pollution's Role in Michigan School Heat Crisis

Representative Tlaib Highlights Corporate Pollution's Role in Michigan School Heat Crisis

U.S. Representative Rashida Tlaib (D-MI 12th District) has issued a statement asserting that corporate polluters are exacerbating a heat crisis in Michigan schools, leading to significant negative impacts on students. Tlaib, a Detroit native and one of the first two Muslim women elected to Congress, argues that extreme heat is exposing the vulnerabilities of Michigan's aging school infrastructure. She points to recent summer experiences, including power outages prolonged by DTE Energy's alleged lack of preparedness, and smog from wildfires, which have resulted in spoiled groceries and medicine, and skyrocketing utility costs for residents. Many families reportedly paid nearly $800 in cooling costs, with 63% of Michiganders experiencing increased expenses to stay cool. Tlaib emphasizes that this issue disproportionately affects lower-income students and students of color, whose schools often lack adequate air conditioning. She notes that when temperatures reach 90°F, absentee rates can spike by 16%, and stu...
