    Industrious City of Bessemer • 906-663-4311 1 Why Locate to Bessemer, MI • We’re kind of awesome when it comes to working with businesses. We’ve had over 13 businesses starting in the past 4 years that are still in business so we know how to help you find your feet in Bessemer. • Prior to the pandemic, the City of Bessemer’s unemployment rate is 5.3% while the country’s average was 3.9%. In June of this year our unemployment rate was 5.2%. This means we have workers ready to get working. • The City of Bessemer is Redevelopment Ready Certified which means the State of Michigan acknowledges that we deal quickly and efficiently with developers and businesses. We cut through our bureaucratic tape as much as we can. • The cost of living in Bessemer is considerably lower than the national average. A typical starter house can be purchased for $50,000 to $100,000 meaning wages go further in Bessemer. • The City of Bessemer has available land in their Industrial Park. Our industrial park is a hop, skip and a jump off US-2, a federal trucking route. The road leading from US-2 through our industrial park is a Class A Road which allows for year round, interruption-free shipping to and from the sites. • The Upper Peninsula is the best place to be if you’re worried about climate change. Don’t just take our word for it, take fivethirtyeight.com’s word. We are projected to avoid the increased risks of sea level rise, drought, tornadoes, hurricanes, wildfires, and disease-carrying mosquitoes.

Hecht Follow this and additional works at: http://scholarship.law.marquette.edu/sportslaw Part of the Entertainment and Sports Law Commons Repository Citation Joshua D. Hecht, Snowboarding Liability: Past, Present and Future, 15 Marq. Sports L. Rev. 249 (2004) Available at: http://scholarship.law.marquette.edu/sportslaw/vol15/iss1/14 This Comment is brought to you for free and open access by the Journals at Marquette Law Scholarly Commons. For more information, please contact [email protected]. SNOWBOARDING LIABILITY: PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE Snowboarding has become a popular sport over the last ten years. The growth in the sport has resulted in injuries and lawsuits because of those injuries. States have been trying to help protect both the sport of snowboarding and the ski resorts by instituting ski safety statutes. Many states have been following the precedents set by ski cases that have already dealt with some of the same issues that are now affecting snowboarding. As this sport continues to grow, and may eventually include a similarly high number of participants as skiing, snowboarding case law will probably continue to follow the path of skiing case law. Eventually, the legal outcomes will be the development of statutes and common law that is consistent for both activities. This note will discuss the legal issues that result from the sport of snowboarding. Part one of the note will introduce snowboarding and the popularity of the sport in the United States. Part two will discuss the current transition from skiing liability to snowboarding liability.

I'm sure the trip leader will write a complete re- cap of the fun. If you didn't go on this one, you missed out on a great place. The next two months are the best time to ski and play in the snow. I hope you all partake of some winter fun not to mention some partying with us. Our trips were planned with you in mind! As a serious note (Yes, I have a serious side) I would like to ask you to give some thought to events or places (all seasons included) you would like the club to set up for the enjoyment of the members. Maybe a road trip to a weekend away from town or participation in an event for charity. Anything you would like to do with your friends. We're all in this club for the friends, aren't we? The board is going to be considering other activities besides skiing. We need some summertime events. Camping?? Canoeing?? A weekend bike ride?? A few days at a spa?? A walk in the wilderness?? Give this some thought and send us your ideas. Don't worry, we'll not ridicule them. We want to become a more full time club. After all it's really your club and it can be whatever you make of it. Thanks for the ideas. - Bob K (Grouch) THE NOMAD'S 55TH ANNIVERSARY DANCE SATURDAY, OCTOBER 22, 2016.
