Orchard Hill Relief
The Manistee County adult foster care center, in Brethren, burned in February.  Over $700 was raised to replace personal supplies lost in the fire.  Dave Barrett of Kaleva Meats helped to arrange a fundraiser shortly after the fire.  His employee, Danielle, picked up the items and delivered them to Elizabeth Christian, co-owner and manager of Orchard Hills.  All items were distributed to residents, as of the week before last.

Missing in Michigan

In the last five months, at least 8 men, women and children in Michigan have gone missing, and have still not been found. Muskegon County's Jessica Heeringa (25 years old, from Norton Shores) was the most recent case just two weeks ago - the gas station employee is still probably the most well-known. Since January 1 of this year, the following have gone missing.
