Lake Michigan’s storm of ’67: What have we learned from tragedy?

Fall is here and once again outdoor enthusiasts are overwhelmed with hunting and fishing opportunities.
The arrival of coho salmon in the Great Lakes added yet another option in the autumn of 1967 – an option that has repeatedly been one of the most popular.
The return of coho salmon to Michigan’s Platte Bay in the fall of ’67 was the culmination of Howard Tanner’s dream. The director of fisheries for the Michigan Department of Natural Resources at the time, Tanner had been working for years to prove the viability of a Pacific salmon fishery in the Great Lakes. But such sudden popularity had a dark side, and includes a tragedy worth recounting as anglers again head out on the Great Lakes for fall salmon runs.

Ohio Insider: Family finishes years-long adventure by visiting all 75 state parks

A silver lining of the Covid-19 pandemic is that it gave Jerry Tyree and his family a reachable goal of visiting all 75 of Ohio’s state parks.
Jerry, his son Tristan, and wife Rhonda achieved that goal last month when they checked off park No. 75 from their list.

Louisiana marksman pulls off rare four wins at Camp Perry, Ohio’s National Matches

At only his second attempt, Sgt. Jonathan Wood, 38, ARNG, of Kennar, Louisiana, cleaned up at the Civilian Marksmanship Program’s (CMP) 2023 National Rifle Games – racking up four individual titles, including within two culminating events.
During the competition series, part of the annual National Matches at Camp Perry, Wood claimed the Three-Gun and Four-Gun Aggregates for his combined outstanding performances in the Garand, Springfield, Vintage and Modern Military events. Admittedly, Wood hadn’t prepared much before arriving at Camp Perry in 2023, with only two competitions beforehand and little else.
