CRYSTAL FALLS “Do you have time for a short story?” Sally Westfahl asked. I agreed that I did, and she told me how she knew her husband, Russel, had fallen for his craft. “We were at a trailer park in Florida and he took a class on carving,” she said.

IRON MOUNTAIN Applications are due May 13 for an Iron Mountain City Council seat representing Ward 3 after council member Robert “Butch” Schinderle resigned Monday.
The council plans to make an appointment at its May 17 meeting for a term that expires with the Nov. 2 council election.
Schinderle, who was not seeking re-election, has faced time constraints as his young son battles leukemia, Mayor Dale Alessandrini said. He was appointed to fill the Ward 3 seat in June 2019 after Amanda List resigned.
The council accepted his resignation with regret and will advertise the vacancy. Ward 3 is generally the area south of C Street.

MARQUETTE After opening up two U.P. recreational marijuana shops in the past 14 months, Higher Love will be adding a third in Munising.
The first Higher Love shop opened up March 2020 in Crystal Falls, and the second was recently added this past month on Washington Street in Marquette. The newest location in Munising will be on 220 E. Munising Ave, and the goal is to have its doors open by Memorial Day, Higher Love President Joni Moore said.

Tuolumne County, CA The Tuolumne County Sheriff’s Office is releasing new details about a missing person case.
We first reported about missing person Troy Galloway in January of 2016. A local veteran, he left his home in the Crystal Falls area six years ago and has not been seen since. His family put up a $1,000 reward back then for information on his whereabouts. New clues in an ongoing investigation lead the sheriff’s office to believe that Galloway’s remains are likely in the lake. Officials are working with the Crystal Falls Association to drain the lake. We’ll pass along more information as it becomes available. Be prepared for activity in that area this weekend. No additional information is immediately available.
