Drama of Michigan Forests DRAMA of the forests of Michigan has been written in several acts THEeach with its colorful pageantry. The action has concerned the magni ficent woodlands of the redman, the rapid depletion of those forests in the last century, and their slow but sure rebuilding in the present. The elusive "northwest passage" to China, Indian furs and Indian souls, iron and land and copper brought the white men to Michigan. In 1621, only 1 year after the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock, young Etienne Brule, protege of Champlain, reached Lake Superior and was disappointed to find its waters fresh. Thirteen years later, Jean Nicolet, another protege of the French governor of Canada, entered the unknown Lake Michigan through the Straits of Mackinac. Though he never found the longed-for route to the Orient, Nicolet did initiate the French fur trade with the Indians in this territory. Heroic followers of Brule and Nicolet were the Jesuit fathers Jogues and Raymbault, who preached to the Ojibwas in 1641 at Sault Ste.

  • Michigan Catholic Conference 2002 Congressional Candidate Questionnaire
    Volume 30, Number 3 September, 2002 Michigan Catholic Conference 2002 Congressional Candidate Questionnaire …Governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. Declaration of Independence One of the most important duties of an American citizen is casting a ballot in an election. This November, Michigan’s citizens will be voting to select the fifteen representatives and one senator who will be responsible for making sure the voices of the people of Michigan are heard in the United States Congress. In order to help the voters of Michigan make an informed choice about their representation in Washington, D.C., the Michigan Catholic Conference has solicited the positions of the thirty Democratic and Republican candidates for the U.S. House and Senate on a variety of issues. We are pleased to make their answers available to you. Questionnaires were sent to the congressional and senate candidates from the major parties in early September 2002. Candidates were asked to mark whether their position was in support of, or in opposition to, the subject of questions found on pages two and three. Candidates were also given the opportunity of noting where they had no position on an issue. In some cases, candidates provided comments or answers on questions unsolicited by the Michigan Catholic Conference. Because the MCC candidate questionnaire did not include a spe- cific area for comment, these unsolicited comments and additions have not been reproduced here. The comments of the candidates will be provided upon request. The Michigan Catholic Conference does not endorse or oppose any candidates, under any circumstances, and no inference of endorsement or opposition should be concluded as a result of information provided in this issue of FOCUS.

  • From the Gilbert Lake Project, Huron-Manistee National Forests
    BIOLOGICAL OPINION Effects to the Indiana Bat (Myotis sodalis) from the Gilbert Lake Project, Huron-Manistee National Forests Prepared by: U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Michigan Ecological Services Field Office East Lansing, MI Log # 18-R3-ELFO-03 July 19, 2018 INTRODUCTION This document transmits the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's (Service) Biological Opinion (BO) based on our review of the U.S. Forest Service’s (USFS) proposed Gilbert Lake Project on the Huron-Manistee National Forests (HMNF) and the Project’s effects on the Indiana bat (Myotis sodalis) in accordance with Section 7(a)(2) of the Endangered Species Act (ESA) of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.). The HMNF determined that the proposed project was “likely to adversely affect” Indiana bat and the northern long-eared bat (Myotis septentrionalis, NLEB), and was “not likely to adversely affect” the eastern massasauga rattlesnake (Sistrurus catenatus, EMR). The HMNF’s request for formal consultation was received on January 24, 2018. Additional information about the proposed project and the project’s effects to listed species was provided on March 15, 2018. On March 2, 2006, the Service issued a programmatic Biological Opinion (programmatic BO) for the HMNF revised 2006 Land and Resource Management Plan (Forest Plan). In the programmatic BO, we evaluated the effects of HMNF Forest Plan activities on bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus), Kirtland's warbler (Setophaga kirtlandii), piping plover (Charadrius melodus) and its critical habitat, Pitcher's thistle (Cirsium pitcheri), Indiana bat, and Karner blue butterfly (Lycaeides melissa samuelis). We concurred that implementation of the Forest Plan was likely to adversely affect these species, but not likely to adversely affect piping plover critical habitat.
