A Date for the Prom

1 week ago | shorelinemedia.net | Mary Beth Crain

In high schools all over the country, it’s prom time. In my day, which was somewhere between the dawn of civilization and four-wheel drive, prom was a huge deal. It was the year’s final judgement on your social status. Unless you were really popular, you nervously hoped and prayed that A) you’d have a date, and B) that date wouldn’t be the bottom of the barrel. If you were a guy, you had to work up enough nerve to ask your dream girl, praying with sweaty palms that she wouldn’t turn you down.

JB Pritzker, the billionaire hotel heir who since 2019 has served as governor of Illinois, wants to be president. Like many Democrats, Pritzker believes his party has not been tough enough in opposing President Donald Trump.

VICTORY TWP. – A long-standing study in Lake Michigan and other Great Lakes has sought to determine the abundance of prey fish species – alewife, rainbow smelt, bloater and the more recent invasive species round goby and several other forage species.
Did Your Toilet Graduate Harvard?

For some reason, I’m recalling an unsolicited e-mail I received a few years back. It was one of those sales pitches, the kind I usually dump without even bothering to read it. But this time, the subject caught my attention. The opening line read: “Is your toilet intelligent?”Oh, yeah. My toilet is so intelligent we have many conversations, about things deep and philosophical. I’ve learned so much from my toilet that I’d rather visit the bathroom than the library.
COLUMNIST: Should we take a holiday from Christopher Columbus?

I could write a column daily about the inanities of President Donald Trump’s current administration. There’s so much to choose from. Check out his orders as noted on the official White House website, whitehouse.gov. Whether he’s attacking a former federal worker as a “leaker,” a law firm that doesn’t conform to his views, or matters of policy, much of the reasoning borders on unhinged, petty, propagandist, or worse.

DETROIT (AP) — The Detroit Lions have exercised fifth-year options to keep edge rusher Aidan Hutchinson and wide receiver Jameson Williams under contract through the 2026 season. Detroit made the moves Friday, a day after signing All-Pro safety Kerby Joseph to an $86 million, four-year contract extension. The Lions selected Hutchinson second overall and Williams No. 12 overall in the 2022 NFL draft. Hutchinson had 7 1/2 sacks in five games last year before his season ended with a broken leg.
When every day is Earth Day

A bluesy anthem of the late 1960s, Canned Heat’s “Let’s Work Together,” could have been the soundtrack for the A Few Friends for the Environment of the World’s (AFFEW) Earth Day Celebration at the United Methodist Church of Ludington: “Together we will stand divided we’ll fall “Come on now people let’s get on the ball “And work together, come on, come on let’s work together, now, now people “Say now together we will stand, every boy, girl, woman, and man” Julia Chambers, AFFEW president,...
Western Michigan's Bilhal Kone leads pack of GLIAC, MAC draft hopefuls

You can watch the first and second days of the NFL Draft for the stars. And you can watch the third day for the stories — sometimes, some really good stories. Players taken in the final four rounds of the NFL Draft’s seven-round affair aren’t always household names, but that’s not to say they can’t become one of those someday. Sometimes, those players come from the smaller schools and smaller conferences.
Fat Chance

One of my favorite TV stations is TLC—The Learning Channel. Not because it’s educational in the PBS sense, but because it’s so downright bizarre. TLC specializes in oddities, anomalies and just plain super weird specimens of humanity. For instance, they love dwarfs and have had I don’t know how many series about little people. Little People, Big World, The Little Couple, Our Little Family, the Seven Little Johnstons, and Lord knows who else.
COLUMNIST: The Humility of Pope Francis

3 weeks ago | shorelinemedia.net | Mary Beth Crain

With the passing of Pope Francis, I thought it would be appropriate to share something I wrote 12 years ago, when he became the Supreme Pontiff. I think it best sums up what he will be remembered for: humility. A gentle, quiet quality to which we should all aspire, but which is far too easily drowned out by the roar of ego, the bellow of cruelty, the baying of avarice, and all the other noisy distractions the devil has devised to lure us from the simple task of loving others as God loves us.
