Jan’s Mountain Bike trip to the UP #6 Sunset at Van Riper State Park, MI

It is always nice to watch the sunset at a nice place. Especially, after riding mountain bike the whole day. The State Park is located at the east side of Lake Michigamme (it's shape looks like a T), hence you have a wonderful spot to see the sunset at the lake.

You might wonder why I chose this State Park.

First, we normally go to a State Park for camping. The reservation process is super easy and you can view your campsite location first. Most of the times, they have a couple of pictures uploaded to get a better impression of the campside. For further information, the Michigan State Park & Harbor Reservations website is linked here.

Second, they always have showers on site. You can also buy ice for the cooler and fire wood there; no need to bring it with you.

and third, I wanted to go biking also at Copper Harbor. So I chose this place to be close to the Marquette area and also able to make a day trip to Copper Harbor. Watch out for the next post to read about mountain biking at Copper Harbor.

Michigamme Public School, Michigamme UP, MI. Opened in 1915, the school operated for the small town of miners. Once the towns started seeing dwindling residents from lack of employable jobs, the towns of Republic and Michigamme joined forces and built Republic-Michigamme High School in 1964 shuttering this building for good the next year.

Lake Michigamme Sunrise

Lake Michigamme Sunrise by Gary

Here’s sort of a Throwback Thursday … to a month and a half ago at least. Wikipedia’s entry for Lake Michigamme says that it is:

…one of Michigan’s largest lakes and reaches a depth of over 70 feet. It covers 4,292 acres in Marquette and Baraga counties, Michigan. Van Riper State Park provides public access. The vast majority of the lake lies in Marquette County,…

Entire Michigan island hits market with cabin home accessible by man-made land bridge

A cabin has hit the market on a little island in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula and the entire island itself is also part of the purchase.

The home is located at 574 Red Road in Michigamme and is surrounded by Lake Michigamme, which is about an hour west of Marquette.

Both the cabin and the 1.65 acre island are listed for $375,000. On top of that, there’s a small second island just .10 acres in size. The property was listed a few weeks ago and has generated so much buzz, it has already received multiple offers.

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});

The 1,326-square-foot home has two bedrooms and two bathrooms. It has had just one owner, who built it back in 1991.

The home has been so well maintained and everything is in such great condition. Down to the very last detail, everything is just so well constructed. You can see the sunrise and sunset from the wrap-around deck. The home was just so well thought out. It just may need some updating in some spots is all.

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});

The deck gives the homeowner different views of the lake from all sides. There’s also a living area on the second floor with a balcony overlooking the lake, which could be turned into a third bedroom. The log cabin also has a new stamped metal roof.

Will remote learning mark the end of snow days? | News, Sports, Jobs

Republic-Michigamme Schools seventh-grade student John Wheeler works on a Chromebook in August after 75 of the computers were donated to Republic-Michigamme Schools by Louis Verville, a member of the Republic Central Schools Class of 1958 and owner of RLM Industries in Oxford Township. Since March, schools across the state have developed remote learning networks for their staff and students to provide social-distanced learning with technology such as Chromebooks, leaving many wondering what the fate of snow days might be in this new era. (Journal file photo)

LANSING — It’s 6:30 in the morning. Knowing you should be getting ready for school, you stare at the morning news, waiting to see your school’s name flash across the screen. After what feels like an eternity, it scrolls past and it hits you — it’s a snow day!

Since March, schools across Michigan have developed remote learning networks for their staff and students to provide social-distanced learning. With the rise of virtual schooling, have kids lost the coveted snow day?

According to Peter Spadafore, the deputy executive director of the Michigan Association of Superintendents & Administrators, public school snow days remain safe.

Not only would it require legislative changes for virtual school days to continue past the pandemic, but too much of the state lacks necessary internet access for it to become a permanent alternative, he said.

“It’s a conversation our members are having, but the biggest barrier is the equity in access to internet and devices,” Spadafore said.

It’s an especially severe challenge to northern Michigan and other rural parts of the state.

Kimberly Blaszak, the superintendent of downstate Lake City Area Schools, echoed the same sentiment about her district.

Providing remote learning for those students required months of planning and a major investment in new technology, she said.

Even after purchasing and distributing 500 hotspots across the community, some families stil­­­l lacked a secure internet connection.

“We had some families that just had to do paper and pencil. Nothing we could do would work,” Blaszak said.

Until the broadband connectivity problem is resolved in rural northern Michigan and rural America, snow days won’t be replaced by remote learning days, she said.

The educational obstacles caused by poor or unaffordable access to high-speed — broadband — internet service have been long recognized.

The Biden administration has announced its proposals to expand broadband access across the country, an issue he campaigned on last year.

In October, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer said about 1.2 million homes in the state lack permanent, fixed broadband connections.

“This critical service is no longer a luxury but is a necessity that allows every Michigander to get a quality education and compete in the global economy,” Whitmer said in announcing $12.7 million for projects to extend access, to be followed by additional grants of $5.3 million and then another $14.3 million.

And this month, U.S. Rep. John Moolenaar, R-Midland, told an audience at Mid-Michigan Community College in Harrison that he’s introducing a bill to provide up to $300 in tax credits for rural families that buy mobile hotspots.

According to Blaszak, insufficient access to electronic devices is the other issue for schoolchildren, even where the infrastructure is available.

“You would have to be invested in enough devices for every student to do that effectively, which is a big financial investment,” she said.

Calling snow days involves a combination of checking weather and road conditions and requires the administration to consult with transportation directors to gauge the safety of bus routes, according to David Crim, the communications consultant for the Michigan Education Association, the state’s largest union of school personnel.

Traverse City Area Public Schools Superintendent John VanWagoner said he’s optimistic that could be a future possibility, but requiring schoolwork and therefore internet access during snow days becomes a safety concern.

“We estimate that 15-20% of our students and teachers have to travel to get that internet access during snow days. So if the roads are too poor, it’s not worth the risk,” he said.

The district has used the last year to diversify the learning experience for its students.

It has developed three modes of learning: in-person instruction, synchronous remote learning and asynchronous online education with teachers available as mentors for students.

Synchronous remote learning allows students to learn from home, but with the structure of a scheduled work day and class times. Asynchronous education gives students the freedom and tools to learn on their own, but provides teachers as guides when needed.

“For some kids, face-to-face is their best option, and we know other kids that have excelled and will probably want to stay in that online realm,” VanWagoner said. “The key is that we get better at all of those modes of instruction for our kids to be able to learn.

“Every kid is different and we believe we need to personalize learning. We want to come out of the pandemic with the ability to offer that choice for students at a quality level.”
