Here's your local news at a glance for Monday, the 31st of March.
Good morning, Marquette.
🏘️ Community
Jean Lund Ayotte Baggiore was born on March 26 in Gwinn and is now 100 years old.
As a young woman she moved to Detroit to work at a World War II plant and built a close circle of family and friends while staying active with a positive outlook and a little wine every day.
🎭 Culture
The first Geoff and Jon Record Show of the year ended Sunday at the Ore Docks Brewing Co. in Marquette and drew record lovers from Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota—organizers Geoff Walker and Jon Teichman said the event set a strong tone for the year and that four more shows are planned with the next in May.
🌲 Environment
Marquette saw 5.5 inches of snow by 4 p.m. on Sunday — even after Friday’s freezing rain, local residents and coffee shop workers pushed on with their daily routines.
A snowstorm that hit Saturday caused widespread power outages across the Upper Peninsula, and UPPCO urged customers to report outages by calling its Customer Care Center at (906) 449-2011 or using its online portal.
🏛️ Government
Marquette Sawyer Regional Airport has completed an expansion that created a redesigned waiting area with 65 new seats by relocating the security checkpoint to ease overcrowding from overlapping departures.
The Lake Superior Community Partnership and the Marquette County Board celebrated the project with a ribbon cutting, and airport officials said the $400,000 initiative improves passenger convenience.
🏈 Sports
Today, despite spring break, skiers and snowboarders gathered early at Marquette Mountain to enjoy a snow day during a spring blizzard that brought powdery snow and quiet slopes.
The resort scheduled a makeup lesson for young learners to practice turns and stops — a move that highlights the unique lake effect.
