Goodbye Higgins Lake, So Long Torch Lake: This Underrated Michigan Lake Has Camping, Fishing, And Beaches

Michigan is known as the Great Lakes State, but it's home to thousands of lakes in addition to the four Great Lakes that it borders.

Charlevoix's Collin Jess gives respect to Menominee, thrilled to help bring title

CHARLEVOIX — Collin Jess has a lot of respect for the Menominee football program. While the junior quarterback is confident in his own Charlevoix team , he’s making no mistakes about disrespecting the Rayders’ regional opponent up next on Saturday, Nov. 14. It was only four years ago that Jess and current Rayder teammates got an up close look at Menominee in the district final round. “Eighth grade year, when my brother (Brady) was a junior, most of us went up to Menominee and we saw that team,” Jess said. “That team was the best team I’ve seen – until hopefully us if we can keep moving forward.” That Menominee team went on to earn a 50-14 win over the Rayders that day and fell in the state finals by just four points. This current Menominee team (10-1) is the defending Division 7 state champion and one that’s started off the playoffs with a 90-8 point-differential. Jess is smart to give the Maroons their flowers.

TRAVERSE CITY — Chef Montanna Brumfield, a Traverse City native, is bringing Northern Michigan flavor to the national stage as a contestant on Season 13 of the Food Network’s “Holiday Baking Championship.” Brumfield is competing against fellow bakers for a $25,000 cash prize on the pre-recorded competition season currently airing. Brumfield studied culinary arts at Northwestern Michigan College and now owns Sirene Noowar, a business in Palm Coast, Fla., offering luxury culinary experiences. Her passion for cooking began in early childhood long before she pursued formal training in her hometown. Growing up in Traverse City, Brumfield developed an early connection to local traditions, recalling that she made her mother a champagne lobster dinner at 5 years old. “So growing up in traverse, literally born and raised I mean, what’s not to love about growing up in Traverse City?” Brumfield said. “The summers, all you smell is bonfire in the air, s’mores, cherry buds. I was a cherry Festival princess back in my day.” Brumfield moved to Florida during her sophomore year of high school but returned to Michigan after graduation to study culinary arts. “That’s when I really got my footing, into the culinary scene,” Brumfield said.
