Michigan's Historic Preservation Plan
Michigan’s state historic Preservation Plan 2014–2019 Michigan’s state historic Preservation Plan 2014–2019 Governor Rick Snyder Kevin Elsenheimer, Executive Director, Michigan State Housing Development Authority Brian D. Conway, State Historic Preservation Officer Written by Amy L. Arnold, Preservation Planner, Michigan State Historic Preservation Office with assistance from Alan Levy and Kristine Kidorf Goaltrac, Inc. For more information on Michigan’s historic preservation programs visit michigan.gov/SHPo. The National Park Service (NPS), U. S. Department of the Interior, requires each State Historic Preservation Office to develop and publish a statewide historic preservation plan every five years.

The contents do not necessarily reflect the opinions of the Michigan State Housing Development Authority.

100 Years of Michigan State Parks
1 ourmidland.com 2 Page 2 | Week of May 6 -11, 2019 Which state park was Michigan’s first? As the DNR celebrates the 100th anniversary of Michigan state parks system, a natural question arises – what was Michigan’s first state park? Well, the answer depends on how you interpret the question and isn’t simple. The 2019 state parks centennial celebration is centered around the formation of the Michigan State Park Commission by the state Legislature on May 12, 1919. The commission was given responsibility for overseeing, acquiring and maintaining public lands and establishing Michigan’s state parks system. One of the state’s earliest purchases was the site of Interlochen State Park in 1917. Although the land was purchased prior to 1919, Interlochen was the first public park to be transferred to the Michigan State Park Commission in 1920 and is considered Michigan’s first state park. However, many consider Mackinac Island as Michigan’s first state park, which is also true. Approximately 25 years before legislation estab- lished the state park commission, the federal government gifted the Mackinac Island property it owned to the state in 1895. The island was designat- ed as Michigan’s first state park under the Mackinac State Park Commission. Because Mackinac Island is operated under the Mackinac State Park Commission and was not placed under the Michigan State Park Commission, there is more than one answer to the “first state park” question. Interlochen State Park The Michigan Legislature paid $60,000 for the land that became Interlochen State Park, located southwest of Traverse City, in 1917. -

Eurasian Ruffe (Gymnocephalus Cernua), Native to Northern Europe and Asia, Have Threatened the Great Lakes and Surrounding States Since the Late 1980S
State of Michigan’s Status and Strategy for Eurasian Ruffe Management Scope Invasive Eurasian ruffe (Gymnocephalus cernua), native to northern Europe and Asia, have threatened the Great Lakes and surrounding states since the late 1980s. The goals of this document are to: • Summarize the current understanding level of the biology and ecology of Eurasian ruffe. • Summarize the current management options for Eurasian ruffe in Michigan. • Identify possible future directions of Eurasian ruffe management in Michigan. Biology and Ecology I. Identification Eurasian ruffe, also known as blacktail Gary Cholwek – National Biological Service or river ruffe, is a member of genus Gymnocephalus within Percidae. Eurasian ruffe is a small, aggressive, benthic fish native to Europe and Asia. The species resemble yellow perch with distinct walleye markings (McLean 1997). The Eurasian ruffe can be distinguished from other perch by their large, jointed dorsal fin composed of 11 to 16 spines with rows of dark spots between each spine. Adult ruffe are typically five to six inches long with large individuals rarely exceeding 10 inches. They have a small, downturned mouth, lack scales on their head, and are slimy when handled (McLean 1997). Eurasian ruffe have two dorsal fins, one spiny (anterior) and one soft (posterior), and are commonly mistaken for troutperch, which have only a single dorsal fin. Their coloration consists of an olive-brown dorsal surface, pale sides, and a yellow underside (Fuller 2014, Hajjar 2002). Eurasian ruffe have two ventral fins with sharp spines on the leading edges; the anterior fin has only one spine where the posterior fin has two spines. -

Appendix B - Brief History of the Area
Appendix B - Brief History of the Area There are several book and web sites with historical information about Misery Bay and the Thunder Bay Group. A recently published book by Steve Tongue provides a detailed history of Thunder Bay Island, the lighthouses and life saving station.. Steve Tongue serves as historian for the Thunder Bay Island Preservation Society. While “magnificent in its desolation” today, Thunder Bay Island has a significant legacy: *The second oldest lighthouse still standing on Lake Huron *A lifesaving station which assisted in the rescue of over 1000 lives *A coast littered with the remains of ill-fated shipwrecks *A fishing colony that was home to Alpena’s earliest settlers *Legends of ghosts and the mysterious currents that draw ships to their destruction *Rocks carved with the names of the many who served on and visited the island for over 150 years *Rare plant and animal life drawn to its unique “alvar” ecosystem These are a few of the many fascinating stories told in Lanterns and Lifeboats. Beginning with the voyage of the Griffin in 1679, Thunder Bay Island has provided shelter along “Huron’s rockbound shore,” and its story mirrors our rich Great Lakes maritime heritage. Lanterns and Lifeboats connects the history “above the water line” with the Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary’s latest efforts to preserve and interpret the bay’s rich underwater archaeology. The book is available from the Thunder Bay Island Preservation Society (TBIPS) at P.O Box 212, Alpena, MI 49707. Please send a check for $14.95 plus $2.00 shipping and handling. -

Eat Safe Fish Guide
Michigan Department Health and Human Services’ Eat Safe Fish Guide Some fish contain chemicals that can harm your health.

They use this information to determine how much fish is safe to eat per month. • The ESF Guide is not a rulebook. These are only guidelines to help you make safer choices for you and your family. -
