Due to failing infrastructure and a recent washout, the bridge over the Pigeon River at the Ford Lake Road crossing in Otsego County will be completely replaced. The new bridge will resemble the original timber bridge, allowing the river to return to its natural, free-flowing state, improve fish passage and reduce opportunities for flooding.

A U.S. senator from Vermont known for his cozy mittens will purchase Zenith Bookstore, with a plan to stick it to Amazon head Jeff Bezos, the popular West Duluth business announced Thursday morning in a newsletter teeming with exclamation points.
This news comes, not-so-coincidentally, on April Fools Day. What better than an independent bookstore dedicated to progressive social issues to counter the corporate greed and inequity displayed by Amazon, according to the message that went out to patrons. Sanders was particularly taken by the Duluth store s funky socks merchandise and plans to introduce a new line of mittens, which will be perfect for the Northland.
ANN ARBOR, MI (WKZO AM/FM) Now that April is here, it’s almost time for morel mushroom hunting season in Michigan.
President of the Michigan Mushroom Hunters Club, Lenny Tomaszewski says they will likely start popping up later this month and peak next month, if the weather cooperates.
“The whole month of May is excellent for morels in Michigan. And you can find morels pretty much anywhere in the state if you’re lucky, real lucky. But they’re everywhere.”
The Michigan Department of Natural Resources says, like all wild mushrooms, morels require quite specific conditions of temperature and moisture to grow. Some springs are good for morels, others are poor. Warm and wet conditions are best, and cold and dry can mean almost total failure of the crop. March was much warmer than normal, but also quite dry. This could mean some mixed results for the 2021 hunt.
