LAKE SUPERIOR, MI - After a harsh winter storm blew out a window in the very remote Stannard Rock Lighthouse in Lake Superior, a team from the U.S. Coast Guard cutter Alder recently hitched a ride on a Jayhawk helicopter from Coast Guard Air Station Traverse City to make the icy repair.
Teams had been worried the missing window could threaten the electronics inside - and even the working light - at the historic lighthouse that sits off the eastern shore of Michigan’s Keweenaw Peninsula.

SANDS TOWNSHIP After a unanimous vote by the Sands Township Planning Commission on Tuesday night, a 1,500-acre solar farm in the township is ready to move forward.
The planning commission voted to approve a special-use permit for the Superior Solar Project, which will be located on Cleveland-Cliffs Inc. property southwest of the intersection of Marquette County Road 480 and M-553.
The project, headed by Savion, LLC, of Kansas City, Missouri, is expected to produce 149.7 megawatts of power, serving the Midcontinent Independent System Operator power grid into the Dead River-Arnold 345 kilovolt line. The solar farm is expected to be capable of powering around 35,000 homes.
