Food Banks & Pantries in Michigan

2011-10-12T10:39:00.000-07:00

We had the privilege of visiting a local food pantry yesterday. It was a fairly new operation created by a group called TRI-POINT CONNECTIONS in cooperation with the Friends Church of Lupton, Michigan.

With spirits high the volunteers begin to collect from neighbors and distribute to neighbors much needed food and sundries.

With limited resources the group has been helping sustain the lives of at least 15 families.

Thank you all for the kindness and compassion shown in volunteering to these organizations that help fellow Michiganders who have found themselves in very tight spots because of our economy and general hard luck situations.

This has inspired Michigan Magazine to look more into these operations state wide.

In doing so we have compiled a list and contact numbers of Food Banks and Pantries throughout the state of Michigan. Watch the video and utilize the information we've collected to get the word out that NO ONE IN MICHIGAN has to go hungry!

Again thanks to all of those involved in sharing the bounty of Michigan...May God bless you all! :-)

Autumn on Michigan's backroads with Michigan Magazine

2011-10-11T14:32:00.000-07:00

What a wonderful weekend for experiencing the colors of autumn in Michigan!

Temperatures were in the 70s & 80s here in northern Michigan and the skies were the brightest of blue with the sunniest of sunshine!

What a show mother nature shared with us!

We stopped by the grape vineyards of Rose Valley near Hale and watched as our friends harvested the delicious "cold hearty" grapes that N.E. Michigan is so well known for.

The harvest was good!

Then we stopped by our home base, the Michigan Magazine Museum between Comins and Fairview for a short visit with Nelson Yoder, our curator.

Nelson is buttoning up the museum for the 2011 season.

It was a good year but not the best as far as attendance was concerned. We certainly have serious concerns about the future of the museum that has just went through it's 13th season.

Crowds are low...only a couple thousands made their way through the doors in our celebration of the TV show and the people of the state of Michigan.

Quite a far cry from our very first year when tens of thousands crowded onto the grounds for a single event.(1999 expo = over 25,000 in two days!)

Times are tough and we know it...But so are we and we believe in our mission.

In the above video we visit with Nelson who asks for your support in what ever form you wish.

In this visit we talk about our museum MEMORIAL WALKWAY. A chance for all to support our cause and memorialize those special people in your life forever more!

God bless you and all the volunteers for helping us present another season at the Michigan Magazine Museum where we continue to spotlight those hearty Michiganders who we featured on the program and those who have shared their personal slice of the Great Lakes State with a positively pure Michigan attitude!

NOW while there is still time...get out and see the wonderful color...it is soooo dynamic!...

I expect within a few short days the woods will have shed their abundance...and stand bare...bracing for the oncoming winter wonderland! :-)

We are taking orders now for all to say just that (above) via our Michigan Magazine Museum MEMORIAL WALKWAY.
We know times are difficult and funds are tight so we are offering our memorial walk way pavers at a 25% discount. Normally our inscribed pavers are offered at $100.00 each for an 8X8.... Now for a limited time we are offering them for $75.00.
They make great holiday gifts that keep on giving for a life time and beyond.
The pavers will be installed at a special Memorial day dedication at the museum in 2012.
This service will be filmed for our television show to air shortly there after.
For more information please give museum curator Nelson Yoder a call now for more information at (989) 848-2246 simply Click Here for an order form and and more information.
Remember you can honor anyone or anything you'd like. From family members to special dates, and events...you decide what to have inscribed on the paver which will be seen by thousands of museum patrons each year..
Purchasing of a paver not only keeps the memory alive but also assures the museum's future of continued recognition and celebration of the state of Michigan and her people.
Funds gathered are utilized for perpetual care of the walkway and operation of the museum....May God bless those you honor and thank you!

Helping our neighbors and getting a wonderful product...what a great feeling!
It's not just 'cause they're my neighbors..it's because we have "as good" and even better products here in the state.
WHY do we, at times, FIRST look out of the state when what we want is in our own back yard!
I'm not sure why that seems to be....our far sightedness has many "short" comings.
ANYWAY....this is one guy who now looks first to Michigan!...Heading for another, even better, Michigan Holiday season!
Peace and blessings my friends from all of us at Michigan Magazine TV & Museum.....Barry :-)

Where Would We Be Without Volunteers?

2011-09-19T10:09:00.000-07:00
Ah that is a distressing thought!
As far as the Michigan Magazine Museum goes...it simply would not exists!
That's right! The museum is run by volunteers...no one is paid. All who assist do it for the love of the mission.
Our mission is to inform and inspire all our fellow Michiganders. To pass the word along that we have so much opportunity right out our own backdoor!
It's a fact!
When Michigan Magazine Television and the Museum work hand in hand getting the word out the spirit of enthusiasm is inevitable. Along with the optimism and dedication of our volunteers it can get quite contagious!
Thank you volunteers we love and appreciate what you have done in keeping the show on the air and the museum doors open! God bless you all and we salute each and everyone one of YOU.
I hope you'll take a moment to listen to the testimony of 92 year old Paula Pakka below.....she is one dynamic lady!

Our Visit to Kenon's & Unexplained tweets!

2011-09-14T07:02:00.000-07:00
Thank you Barbara Goodboo for sharing the history and future of Kenyon's Hideaway with us.
I hope everyone get's to view segment 1 posted on this blog.
Barb has more to share with us..So watch for upcoming segments
Our visit extends to a walking tour of the upstairs rooms and more on the hidden trap doors and tunnels allegedly utilized by the Purple Gang back in the days of prohibition. Some of those tunnels traveled miles to amazing destinations...one leads all the way to the Graceland Ballroom...imagine that!
Our tour upstairs included stories and reports of alleged paranormal activities.
Barb's even been approached by "Paranormal" investigation organizations for permission to investigate....set up all that wild and wooley ghost detecting gear that catches "what ever" on video and audio tapes and other digital gear...Barb tells us she will have nothing to do with that...at this point in time anyway!
Room 18 is of special significance. Here a majority of previous owners took their last breath...Room 18 is the only room that includes a recently added outdoor balcony...beautiful.
Nothing paranormal happened to us of any significance while we filmed....ALTHOUGH we lost all power to my camera AND wireless microphones while filming a newly renovated bathroom...the only bathroom that could be salvaged with much of the old fixtures. After leaving the bathroom and connecting room....power mysteriously was restored...
Even though our tour was in the middle of the day shadows in dark corners started playing with me...figuratively ...While Barb spoke into the camera I saw shadows darting in the corner of my eye...Everything we experienced could probably be explained very easily...but still it was a little creepy.
I'm not a believer in ghosts but I believe that the spirit of a time and place can remain in memory and possibly become a part of an area...physically. Now I think I'm sounding ridiculous! I don't dwell on such things so I'm not good at articulating what I think in regards to such things...(I'm rambling nervously)
NOT to scare anyone from spending some good times at Kenyons in the beautiful dinning area and the upstairs rooms....It's wonderful and a nice place for an escape or to bring the whole family...
You'll agree, I'm sure, as we visit more with Barbara on upcoming segments.
NOW ABOUT THOSE TWEETS!
While uploading our first segment of Kenyons to You Tube for some reason....Not under my direction (that I know of) My You Tube Channel (spiritofmichigan) kept tweeting my followers about the "bigfoot stackings" discovered near our museum. It happened three times (the tweets that is)...What's with that?
Anyone else have this happen? Unauthorized tweets I mean?
Sooooooo I apologize for those who received the tweets about the stackings....you must think I'm obsessive about those stackings (although they are pretty cool). I am not and don't want to dwell on the subject...enough said...
If you continue to receive those tweets...don't know what to tell ya! So sorry! It's not me...I don't think!
The internet....gotta luv it!!

On the next show Sept 20 & 21st SPECIAL MEMORIES!

2011-09-13T19:26:00.000-07:00
Show 1638, the preview below, is a very special program with historical significance and fond memories.
Besides the historic unsealing of the Native American census rolls we also feature an appearance in the next segment of my late partner and co-host Dell Vaughan.
In the second segment of our program we film the Birmingham Community Concert Band, under the direction of Paul Laveck, as they perform our theme song SOAR LIKE AN EAGLE.
After the amazing presentation Dell says a few words of gratitude for their fine job....It's good to hear Dell's voice again.
As you may know Dell left this world back on April 11th 2010.
Good memories of many miles we spent on the road in the early days of Michigan Magazine!
Next week's program is also highlighted by a look at FEMA and the speed in which they work to get up and running to assist in national disasters.
A big thanks to MICHIGANDER and now FLORIDIAN Gene Kauffman who works with FEMA.
Gene coordinated the logistics of us bringing this amazing segment to Michigan Magazine.
The name Gene Kauffman may sound familiar to many Michiganders. Gene owned and operated many radio stations throughout the midwest and Michigan including WBMB 1060 AM in West Branch and WDBC in Escanaba.
I had the extreme honor of working for Gene at WBMB/WBMI in the very early 70s
Our paths crossed recently when he stopped by the Michigan Magazine Museum last summer after we re-connected on Face Book. Upon further conversation we found our family heritage had common roots... We found out we were cousins...imagine that...
The internet is amazing...
ANYWAY...I think you'll enjoy our travels in our September 20th and 21st presentation of Michigan Magazine on RFD TV...Andy Head HardHat will also be bringing us another geocache adventure with his geosnippits!
See ya then or before RIGHT HERE on our official Blog!
DON'T FORGET TO VIEW THE PREVIEW BELOW!
God bless!

2011-09-13T07:48:00.000-07:00
Yes the earlier the better!
I love the time of year. It's just a good feeling and I love the closeness and goodwill it brings
Of course December 26th brings welcome relief from the hustle and bustle of the commercialism...but it's a "good" feeling of exhaustion when it's time to take the tree down!
We're all ready for a new beginning with fresh thoughts of fresh hope and a renewed feeling of faith.
I love this book A WISH TO BE A CHRISTMAS TREE by Colleen and Michael Monroe....It truly hits home that it's much more then a time of year that love and appreciation exists.
We had the opportunity to visit with this beautiful husband and wife team as the book was first released.
I'll feature the actual interview we conducted at the world famous Bronner's Christmas Wonderland....Wally introduced the book and authors to us...Wally was delighted with the message in the book.
If you get the chance to make the book a part of your family reading tradition along with the NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS..it certainly will keep on "giving" in memories and inspiration...Happy early Holidays and the Merriest of upcoming Christmas seasons.

A Letter From Sen. Levin

2011-09-11T08:57:00.000-07:00
Dear Mr. Stutesman:
Each of us will forever remember the morning of September 11, 2001. To commemorate the heroism and resolve that was displayed in the face such a hate-inspired event, I would like to share with you my statement today on the ten year anniversary of 9-11.
“Ten years ago today, mindless hatred took the lives of thousands of our fellow citizens. But if the terrorists who struck us that day thought they would defeat us, the decade since has shown how badly mistaken they were. The attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, were a terrible blow. But they could not and did not overcome America’s courage, confidence, optimism and essential decency.
“This is a day to remember the lives lost on 9/11 and the loved ones who still mourn, and to remember the thousands of brave Americans who have sacrificed so much to defend us since that terrible day, especially those who have given ‘the last full measure of devotion’ to the nation that we all hold so dear.”
As we each commemorate this event in our own way, let us remember how we came together as a nation on that day, and in the ensuing weeks and months, to aid one another and to address this grave threat.
Sincerely,
Carl Levin

It's a day of resolve...and I've found this link to different perspectives a sobering look at the day that shook our souls. Those who lost their lives and their families will not be forgotten. This act of cowardice that was designed to bring us to our knees...has strengthened not destroyed...has brought us together not scattered. 911 Interactive Maps!
