  • Fun Fact of the Week
    Fun Fact of the Week 10 Winter Fitness Activities for the Whole Family* It's time to play outside! Bundle up for these winter-only activities to torch calories and have a little fun. Baby, it’s cold outside! But don’t let the deep freeze discourage you from getting outside and getting active. If you dress properly - in layers, taking care to protect your hands, feet, and ears - and if you choose fitness activities that are fun, you and your family can actually look forward to working out in winter, says Alice Burron, MS, a member of the Wyoming Governor’s Council on Physical Fitness and Sports, an American Council on Exercise spokeswoman, and author of Four Weeks to Fabulous. “Winter activities, particularly when there’s snow on the ground, are good for strengthening ‘balance’ muscles because of the uneven, slick surface,” Burron says. “What a great way to get your core muscles - the key to stabilizing your entire body - in shape for the spring.” And, underneath all those layers, you can burn some serious calories. Below are 10 fun winter fitness activities for you and your family to choose from, and the calories you can burn, based on a 150-pound person and Everyday Health’s My Calorie Counter. Sledding Head to your local sledding hill (provided there’s snow) for a fun, aerobic workout. Sledding requires you to use multiple muscle groups to steer as you speed down hills. You also exert effort while walking with your sled back up the hill, so you can go down again.

  • The Arrowhead 135
    The Arrowhead 135 The World’s Toughest Race on Foot Ironically I am currently sitting inside a warm library in Flagstaff, AZ sipping on a school computer sipping on a warm cup of starbucks white hot chocolate (these amenities were only distant dreams, vague, indescribable images in my mind during the Arrowhead 135). The week leading up to the Arrowhead 135, I had not been getting good sleep, I was overworked trying to adjust from having taken to 15 credits of liberal arts the previous semester to this semester where I was now taking 19 credits of upper level Spanish courses, each with their own agenda, full of homework. Needless to say, this was still a poor excuse for not taking better care of myself during this week leading up to the race. I left Flagstaff, AZ (the Caribbean compared to where I was headed) and boarded the plane for International Falls, MN, appropriately named ‘the icebox of the nation’. I took some melatonin (a natural sleep aid) and passed out on the plane to the grand site of the frozen Rocky Mountains, I passed out again. When I woke up the second time, everything was white, everything was flat and ice was starting to develop on the wing of the plane… “well either Christianity is going to be disappointed when they find out this is heaven or I’m flying over Minnesota” Upon landing in International Falls, I heard the pilot say in a very serious voice “o it’s a nice 14 degrees outside right now”…uhhh….(As us San Diegans now anything under 50 is death! And throughout this entire race the temperatures didn’t even get into double digits…well positive double digits that is…) I stayed at the Voyager Motel with a fellow bad-ass, that is to say Bill Bradley.

  • Charter Township of Calumet Recreation Plan
    CHARTER TOWNSHIP OF CALUMET RECREATION PLAN 2019 through 2023 COMMUNITY DESCRIPTION Charter Township of Calumet is located in northern Houghton County, on the Keweenaw Peninsula. It is the northern-most Township in the county and its western boundary is partially formed by Lake Superior. North of the Township is Keweenaw County and approximately eleven miles south are the cities of Houghton-Hancock. Calumet Township once was the center of extensive copper mining activity and its population centers were developed in response to tremendous economic growth during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. For the purpose of this plan, the “community” is defined as the area encompassed by the Township’s political boundaries. The development of this plan was initiated by the Township Supervisor working in cooperation with the Township Board of Trustees as well as local citizens. Township recreational lands and facilities are often used by people who live in the region but do not necessarily live in the township proper. Residents of the Township as well as non-residents of the Township have participated in the creation of this plan. As recently as the middle of the 20th century, the economy of the Keweenaw Peninsula has traditionally been based upon major extractive industries, primarily copper mining and timber production. In recent decades tourism has become a major contributor to the area’s economy. The Keweenaw Peninsula is a well-known summer destination and in recent years has attracted significant numbers of winter visitors for snowmobiling and cross-country skiing, and downhill skiing. A two-county ATV trail system has also been developed but local officials are looking at improvements.
