My mother served as a World War II Army nurse, treating wounded soldiers in New Guinea. She was very proud of her service.

[The Associated Press @AP]

Nurses played outsized roles in World War II, saving lives and comforting patients both at home and abroad. Some were killed by enemy fire while others spent years as prisoners of war. A coalition of retired nurses say time is running out to honor them. https://t.co/2UZfMNVter

The HP front pages on Nov. 11 and Nov. 12, 1975, covered the Nov. 10 sinking of the Edmund Fitzgerald. We reported that a St. Joseph man was part of the lost crew. In fact, he was the only Michigan resident on the ship that day. Read about him here: https://t.co/cEyJca2ddf

My son climbed a mountain to research this story.

[Longreads @Longreads]

"Then, after over a year of research, I found myself on a mountainside deep in the park—with 130 baby trout on my back."

Alex Brown's new #longreads story is the wild tale of a tiny fishing club's battle with the feds over alien trout:

Palisades nuclear power plant got a big boost toward reopening today with a federal loan guarantee. The plant still needs regulatory approval to become the first U.S. shuttered nuclear plant to reopen.

In memory of Tpr. Robert J. Mihalik who made the ultimate sacrifice this date 40 years ago. We will always remember your service to the State of Michigan and your brotherhood to the MSP! Thank you
March 23, 1947 - September 9, 1984
Trooper Mihalik was shot to death while arresting a person suspected of failing to pay for gasoline.
On Sunday, September 9, 1984, a service station attendant called the St. Joseph Post reporting that a man had just left the station without paying for $35.00 worth of gas and cigarettes. The post immediately broadcast the description of the suspect and his vehicle.
Trooper Mihalik was patrolling the I-94 freeway near the area where the suspect was last seen driving. Trooper Mihalik soon spotted the vehicle and followed it off the freeway. He was finally able to force the suspect to stop in a residential area of Shoreham, an unincorporated village.
Witnesses saw Trooper Mihalik approach the suspect and heard the suspect arguing. Trooper Mihalik eventually had the suspect turn and take a position of submission to arrest. The suspect continued to argue, and began struggling as the officer started handcuffing him. Trooper Mihalik was able to secure only
one handcuff when the suspect suddenly turned and pushed him back onto the hood of the patrol car. The suspect immediately grabbed for the officer’s service revolver, wrestling it away from him. Trooper Mihalik rolled off the patrol car and crouched beside it for cover. The suspect began yelling and waving the gun in the air, then suddenly shot over the hood of the patrol car at Trooper Mihalik.
Subsequent investigation revealed that the suspect fired six shots at Trooper Mihalik, striking him three times. One non-fatal round struck his chin, and two rounds (one of which was fatal) struck his chest. Trooper Mihalik was able to draw his snubnose revolver and fire five shots, striking the suspect’s left hand once. Witnesses kept the suspect in view as he fled the scene a short distance on foot. Back-up officers arrived and administered first aid to Trooper Mihalik. They were also able to arrest the suspect without incident moments later. His right wrist was still handcuffed.
Trooper Mihalik was transported to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 6:20 p.m.
The suspect was charged with first degree murder and felony murder. He was convicted
on both counts in circuit court and sentenced to life imprisonment.
