Highwire Farms owner won't sign a do-not sue provision

MENOMINEE — The result of last week’s ballot initiative in Menominee means nothing to Highwire Farms cannabis company principal owner Eric Kennedy. “Nothing has changed, it’s still capped and the lawsuit continues,” he told the EagleHerald. “They could go unlimited. It changes nothing.” Highwire Farms, 1015 10th St., was part of a settlement agreement in 2023 that promised retail licenses to six marijuana businesses. In exchange, those businesses agreed to indemnify or pay the city’s legal bills for future lawsuits and agreed not to appeal. Highwire Farms didn’t open at that time because it was mired in a legal situation over its location. It eventually settled at the intersection of 10th Avenue and 10th Street (most recently A&B Auto and before that a bank). A build-out ensued, but the business couldn’t get the green light from the city. When Menominee County Circuit Judge Mary B. Barglind lifted an injunction this past July that opened the door for a ninth license — one that Kennedy felt he was owed. He wasn’t alone. Puff Cannabis (located at the former Family Video location on 10th St.) and Urb (located just north of City Hall on 10th Street) also feel they deserve licenses. Puff

Staffing shortfall puts court collections work under scrutiny

MARINETTE — A staffing shortage in the Marinette County Clerk of Circuit Court’s office is delaying new submissions to Wisconsin’s state debt collection program, prompting committee members to question the financial impact and discuss ways to help. At the public safety committee’s Tuesday meeting, Clerk Carrie Brazeau described an office struggling to retain employees while managing a growing workload. Brazeau said the last state debt collection submission was completed in late January, covering December’s work. “I do not have the staff to keep up with the work,” Brazeau told the committee. The program collects qualifying debts owed to the county, with the state taking a commission from the amounts it recovers. Supervisor Peter Noppenberg said the county figures showed $945,071 collected through the program in 2025. He estimated that delays in sending new files could mean “approximately $79,000 in income every month is not being pursued.” Brazeau cautioned that the figures for submissions and collections were different. Money collected in a given month may come from cases submitted years earlier, she said and sending a file does not mean the county will receive payment immediately. “There is a difference between how much you submit and how much you actually receive,”

Traverse City Coast Guard helicopter rescues sailor off Wisconsin

The U.S. Coast Guard said a helicopter crew based in Traverse City helped rescue a man whose sailboat became stranded on Green Bay island southeast of Menominee, Michigan, at about 8 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 7. The Coast Guard said the man, who was not identified in a release, was rescued by the helicopter crew and was transported to Menominee Regional Airport, where he then was transferred to emergency medical services for treatment of hypothermia. “This rescue reflects the coordination and professionalism of our Coast Guard crews and watchstanders,” said Gregory Grubbs, command duty officer of the Coast Guard Great Lakes District Command Center. “As conditions on the Great Lakes become increasingly unpredictable this time of year, we remind boaters to check weather forecasts before getting underway, ensure their vessels and safety equipment are in working order, and always have a reliable means of communicating in an emergency. The man radioed a mayday call at about 6:08 p.m. Saturday after his 28-foot sailboat lost power. The man reported high winds and concerns that his vessel could capsize. The sailboat became disabled after its battery died approximately 11 miles northwest of the Sturgeon Bay Canal in Wisconsin, the Coast Guard said. The

Maroons continue District dominance with victory over Manistee

MENOMINEE — On October 26, 2007, as the Menominee High School football team was in the midst of claiming its second straight State championship, Manistee became the first playoff victim of the Maroons buzzsaw after suffering a 53-7 flogging in the MHSAA Division 5 District semifinals. Flash forward nearly 20 years later to November 7, 2026, and Manistee finally had an opportunity to exact a measure of payback as the Mariners strode into the hallowed grounds of Walton Blesch Stadium to square off against Menominee for the Division 7 District 49 title on Saturday. Forty-eight minutes later, history had repeated itself. Dylan Beal threw for 123 yards and accounted for four touchdowns while Menominee’s one-two backfield punch of Jackson Myszak and Caleb Barstow combined to rush for over 150 yards as the Maroons cast the Mariners out to sea 42-8. Menominee (10-1 overall) scored touchdowns on all six of its first-half possessions and out-gained the Marines by a 378-to-234 margin en route to the program’s fourth consecutive District 49 crown. “It does not get old. Fourth District title here. Fourth year in a row hosting a Regional…it means a lot to have teams travel up here. We know we’re going
