A duplex in Detroit is in need of repair, about $300,000 to $400,000 worth. A local non-profit is killing two birds with one stone, giving it the renovation it needs while fighting human trafficking.
Hemphill named USCG District 1 Person of the Year
SOUTHWEST HARBOR U.S. Coast Guardsman Chrissy Hemphill, lead boarding officer at the United States Coast Guard station in Southwest Harbor, was recently chosen as USCG District 1 Person of the Year. She was honored at a ceremony at the station on May 4.
“Leaders look up and out. They go, what can I do better for the people that rely on me?” Command Master Chief Charles ‘Rob’ Bushey said during the ceremony. “It’s obvious you don’t do this job for you,” he said to Hemphill. “Taking care of your crew. Being part of the community. Being better, pointing out things we need to work on. That’s what leaders do.”
