    An Integrated Assessment of Torch Lake Area of Concern Noel R. Urban, Carol A. MacLennan, Judith A. Perlinger Michigan Technological University Funding provided by Michigan Sea Grant This is Contribution No. 53 of the Great Lakes Research Center at Michigan Technological University Calumet & Hecla operations in Lake Linden ca 1940. In the foreground are the Calumet and Hecla stamp mills with the stacks of the power house. Photo courtesy of Michigan Tech Archives. Acknowledgments The authors thank Michigan Sea Grant for funding to enable this integrated assessment. Without the support, insights, historical knowledge and perspectives offered by Sharon Baker, MDEQ site coordinator for many years, this project would not have been possible. We also owe tremendous thanks to the two students, Ankita Mandelia and Emma Schwaiger-Zawisza, whose thesis research contributed major parts of this report. Other people who have contributed to our understanding of the site and its history are too numerous to mention individually, but include state and federal agency personnel, colleagues at MTU and the Keweenaw National Historic Park, TLPAC members, and community members. Administration and staff members at Sea Grant were very helpful in administering the grant, creating and maintaining a web site for the project (http://www.miseagrant.umich.edu/torchlake/), and facilitating compilation of the final report. The assessment was greatly improved thanks to the contributions of eight anonymous reviewers representing agency, scientist, and local citizen viewpoints.

  • Rusty Parka News
    Rusty Parka News Vol. 59 Issue 1 www.nspcentral.org Fall 2020 Division Director’s Report It’s fall and folks are getting ready for the season. At least one resort has opened, and skiers are anxious to hit the slopes. As we get ready and are thinking about staying safe ourselves, there are several things to report and information to get out to you. COVID-19 safety information was distributed to the Patrol Directors through the Region Directors. This information and recommendations were put together by a Central Division Medical Committee headed by our Division Medical Supervisor Dan Goldberger with the Medical Advisors from all the regions. Remember these are only recommendations as each resort partner has the responsibility for guest, employee and patrol safety per their own protocols and procedures. Mike Schons Division Director This said, the Division and regions have cancelled all face-to-face events this sea- son. I know this is disappointing to a number of folks who are working to improve their skill sets and obtain higher certifications. I apologize for this, but we are a safety organization and your safety in this environment is our primary concern. Youth Protection Training, you have heard me talk about it in previous articles. The requirement is now in the National Policies and Procedures, Chapter 13. This is great training and well worth the one and a half hours necessary to complete. It is a requirement for some; however, I encourage all members to take the training, especially if you have a desire to become active in patrol leadership or become an Instructor.

The industry that lasted in the region over 100 years has been profoundly studied, but the industrial heritage has received less attention. This study is interested in the memory of mining and in the future prospects of locals right after the closure of the mines in 1969. This study is data-driven, using the interviews conducted within the Finnish Folklore and Social Change in the Great Lakes Mining Region Oral History Project by the Finlandia University in 1973-1978. The method is thematic analysis, which is used to identify, analyze and report themes related to talk on the mines, mining, the 1913 Strike, and the future. Two main themes are negative and positive talk. Within negative talk, three sub-themes are identified: insecurity, disappointment and loss. There is more negative talk within the data set, especially because of the 1913 Strike and the Italian Hall Disaster, which were still commonly remembered.

In order to prevent or mitigate exposures, a consultation may lead to specific actions, such as restricting use of or replacing water supplies; intensifying environmental sampling; restricting site access; or removing the contaminated material. In addition, consultations may recommend additional public health actions, such as conducting health surveillance activities to evaluate exposure or trends in adverse health outcomes; conducting biological indicators of exposure studies to assess exposure; and providing health education for health care providers and community members. This concludes the health consultation process for this site, unless additional information is obtained by ATSDR which, in the Agency’s opinion, indicates a need to revise or append the conclusions previously issued.

As I write this it’s just a few days before Christmas, and it’s not looking very much like winter, however will hope that will change by the time you read this. Another year is in the books, and if you are like me, your slamming it shut! I have no words other than to start by paying respect to a long standing member we recently said goodbye to. For those who do not know, Senny Wegner passed away recently. He has been a long-time member and attended most every trip and will be missed. At the time of writing this article, our Midwest trips are proceeding as drive-up. There is still room on our trips to Powderhorn and Houghton. We have quite a few day trips planned for you as well with the full details included as always in this newsletter. Interested members should read further for all the details and if applicable, get their registration in today, to ensure they are accounted for. The Board is beginning the planning process for Spring Banquet 2021, with a possibility of an in-person once again. One thing is for certain, is the election of officers with the positions of President and Social Chair being open this year. We are working out the details, and nothing is set in stone as of yet, so make sure to read the upcoming newsletters for updates on how we will address the banquet and elections.
