DNR shares Great Lakes summer safety tips for beaches and swimming. |
Be cautious: The Michigan Department of Natural Resources is reminding summer travelers that despite the Great Lakes’ appeal and beauty, they are large, powerful water systems that require certain safety precautions. The danger: Rip currents, adverse weather patterns and crashing waves are just a few of the potential threats at beaches, piers and breakwalls. These can be deadly. More on the Great Lakes: Beach space has been gobbled up by rising water levels in recent years in the Great Lakes, but beachgoers can expect lower water levels this summer. |

With another $9.5M in ads, Michigan plans to ‘keep trying’ to boost COVID vaccinations |
Vaccines are slowing down: Vaccine uptake has advanced at a crawl since late last summer, but the state still believes more holdout residents can be convinced to get a shot.
More ads to come: After spending more than $77.6 million in state and federal funds for its vaccine advertising campaign in 2021 and the first quarter of 2022, Michigan has earmarked another $9.5 million for the months April through June.
State of COVID: Despite a rise in new COVID cases and test positivity, Michigan remains in the post-surge phase of the pandemic cycle, according to state officials. The number of Michigan counties where CDC says people should mask dropped from 22 to 14. |

Memorial Day recognized all across Michigan. |
‘We tell their stories’: Great Lakes National Cemetery was able to finally host its special Memorial Day Ceremony after being canceled for the past few due to the pandemic. Local events: Ann Arbor, Kalamazoo, Grand Rapids, and several other areas had Memorial Day parades bringing in hundreds of community members.
A thank you: Volunteers from all over Michigan played a part when preparing for Memorial Day activities. Whether it was placing flags, planning parades or donating to charities who help veterans, it all makes a difference. To those who have served or are currently serving, thank you for your service. To those who have fallen, may they never be forgotten.
