Some changes have been made, however, to bring the various narrative sections up-to-date through mid-1977. The statistical charts and graphs cover the 1976 calendar year, except where noted otherwise. Some major changes worth noting: The addition of a section on the Riverside Correctional Facility at Ionia, a newly acquired institution for men; a new statistical presentation on critical incidents in Michigan institutions in 1976; a more complete statistical presentation of the average school grade rating by 1.0. groups of 1976 commitments; a new statistical presentation on parole contracts. - the editor iii em nt The statistical data in this report came primarily from information systems maintained by the Data Systems Section, Management Services Division within the Bureau of Administrative Services.

Egeler, warden of the State Prison of Southern Michigan at Jackson, died. The affable warden had been with the department since 1953 when he was hired as a prison counselor at SPSM. He had been warden of the prison since 1972 when he replaced Perry M. Johnson, who was named director of the department in that year. Although there were indications that the warden's health was not good, his sudden death on that winter afternoon came as a shock to the hundreds of men and women who had worked with him and for him over the years. The 48-year-old Jackson resident was born in Bay City in 1928, and it was there that he com­ pleted high school and was awarded an associate of arts degree. In 1953 he earned a bachelor's degree in police administration from Michigan State University and had accumulated a number of hours toward his master's degree at the time of his death. Mr. Egeler made a name for himself before joining the department as an outstanding swimming competitor at Bay City Community College, Michigan State University and while he served in the Army in Tokyo, where he was manager of the swimming program for Tokyo base personnel. A release from the tiresome and demanding burden of running the world's largest walled prison was his cottage on the south branch of the Au Sable River in northern Michigan. He and his family were returning from this retreat on March 6, when his death occurred. Besides being active in sports, Mr. Egeler found time for membership in the American and Michigan corrections associations, the Elks Club, the Michigan State University Athletic Associa­ tion, the National Jail Association, the National Council on Crime and Delinquency and the American Association of Wardens and Superintendents. Before being named warden at SPSM, Mr. Egeler was deputy warden at that institutiol1 and has also been assistant deputy at the Michigan Reformatory, administrative assistant to the warden of SPSM and supervIsor of Camp Pugsley. Each person who came in contact with the warden has a different memory of him - some who knew him best recall his sense of humor, some say he was shy, some boisterous. All recall that once he had decided that something had to be done, it was usually done. He had a difficult job; he did it well; he is missed. .' 1-., ,', ~"' ,I-" ! ~ ~ •• ~. ~. l - '.

  • Kalamazoo River Lake Sturgeon Rehabilitation Plan
    Lake Sturgeon Rehabilitation in the Kalamazoo River Michigan Department of Natural Resources, Fisheries Division Submitted by Kregg Smith, Senior Fisheries Biologist January, 2010 Kalamazoo River Lake Sturgeon Plan 2011-2016 INTRODUCTION Information regarding lake sturgeon in southern Michigan systems is primarily limited to recent population assessments (2002-2010), historical accounts of migration, early commercial fishing data, and angler catches (Baker 1980; Organ et al. 1978; Wesley 2005). Some data is available based on excavations at archaeological sites and reports from early European settlers. Analyses of animal remains from prehistoric archaeological sites in southwestern Michigan have revealed the significance of a late spring and early summer fishery that focused on lake sturgeon (Martin and Brashler 2002). Middle Woodland (ca. 250 BC-AD 500) mound groups in the river basins of the St. Joseph, Grand, Kalamazoo, and Muskegon provided the first indication that lake sturgeon were intensively exploited and that it was far more important than any other fish taxa until the 1850's. Lake sturgeon remains are virtually ubiquitous at many archaeological sites in the valleys of the Grand, Kalamazooo, and St. Joseph Rivers where they migrated upstream to rapids for spawning (Brashler et al. 1998, Martin and Brashler 2002). The distinctiveness of this lake sturgeon population in southwest Michigan suggests a more important reliance upon lake sturgeon by early residents that contrasts to sites in the Saginaw Valley where lake sturgeon was only one of several fish species that were sought (Bigony 1970; Martin and Richmond 1993). A summary of Fisheries' Division, Southern Lake Michigan Management Units planned activities to benefit lake sturgeon in the Kalamazoo River over the next several years is below: Objective: Lake Sturgeon Rehabilitation a) Stock fall fingerling Lake Sturgeon produced from a stream side rearing facility in the Kalamazoo River.
