Mr. History: Larry Hains and the Traverse City of Days Gone By
Give Larry Hains an old, faded photo of Front Street from generations ago, and with any luck, he’ll “triangulate” the date for you in quick order. The street’s still dirt? Well, it has to be before 1902. But the two large trees on the west side of the Union Street intersection are already gone? Then it must be after 1896. Some versions of this exercise might use entire buildings as clues, others something as small as a certain road sign or a business that only existed for a few short years.

Ferris State students involved in research indicating waste from wildlife is the likely source of Billings Lake E. coli levels
BIG RAPIDS — Students from Ferris State University’s Shimadzu Core Laboratory for Academic and Research Excellence participated in research looking into the cause of E. coli readings in a Wexford Count recreation site. E. coli are a large and diverse group of bacteria. Although most strains of E. coli are harmless, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said some can cause diarrhea, urinary tract infections, respiratory illness and pneumonia, and other illnesses. The Shimadzu Core Lab coordinated with Wexford County Drain Commissioner Michael Solomon since 2016, attempting to determine the source of fecal contaminants impacting access to Billings Lake’s “Kiddie Beach,” a body of water fed by Manton Creek. Shimadzu Director Schuyler “Sky” Pike indicated there was no evidence of human or swine waste in samples taken following large rain events, with that testing pointing to E. coli contamination from canines, such as foxes and coyotes, ruminants such asor deer or other animals.
