A spike in motorcycle rider deaths is prompting the OPP to turn to its eye in the sky, we could be dealing with another labour dispute this time on the railways, and there were a lot fewer floaties heading down the St. Clair River for yesterday's annual Port Huron Float Down.

Darin Noland is charged with first-degree murder in connection to the death of 55-year-old Henry Neudorf. The Blue Water Bridge was closed in both directions for about 90 minutes this morning due to a search and rescue effort in the St. Clair River. The provincial government announced a $1.6M investment over four years to support fruit growers by purchasing display bins with the Foodland Ontario logo.

Park Lawn has set the record and meeting date for its special meeting of shareholders. This meeting is convened to consider the proposed going private transaction. Under the terms of the transaction, Viridian Acquisition of Homesteaders Life Company and Birch Hill Equity Partners Management Inc., will acquire all outstanding common shares of Park Lawn at a price of $26.50 per Share. The Special Meeting will be conducted virtually on July 29, 2024. Park Lawn will share more details about the Transaction and the Special Meeting in its management information circular. The circular will be sent to shareholders soon. Copies of the circular will be submitted to Canadian securities regulators and accessible on SEDAR+.

Gov. Josh Shapiro signed the legislation, lowering the temperature to 1,600 degrees Fahrenheit.  New law allows crematories established after 1989 to operate at or above 1,600°F. This will immediately lower fuel costs and ease strain on equipment for the 200 facilities in Pennsylvania, which is particularly beneficial as mortuary services handle an aging population. The aging Baby Boomer generation is causing a shift away from traditional burial. The decision is influenced by environmental impact, cost, and religious sentiments. More people are considering long-term end-of-life planning and eco-friendly burials. Link: https://www.thecentersquare.com/pennsylvania/article_72627e2a-2d78-11ef-9809-375bc305e2b5.html John C.

Lambton County officials say the urn was pulled from the St. Clair River in January 2024. Police are asking the public for help to identify the owner of an urn containing ashes that was recovered from the St. Clair River near Sarnia. Officers with the Lambton County Ontario Provincial Police detachment were called in January to a home in the 600-block of St. Clair Parkway in St. Clair Township, south of Sarnia, and were handed a small urn that had been recovered from the water, police say. Attempts to locate and identify the owner of the urn have been unsuccessful, police said. Tyler Sylvester is a funeral director at Belton-Stroup in Fairborn, Ohio, said their standard practice of including a cremation number coin and laminated tag with identifying information.

We're not really fishing for dinosaurs on this editon of the Polar Kraft podcast but we are talking fishing for every species of fish in the St. Clair River...including the prehistoric looking sturgeon with Pete Patsalis of Hook One Charters. Pete is best known for his walleye expertise but he's also a very knowledgeable perch, musky, salmon, sturgeon and bass angler. Patsalis describes how his passion for fishing started at an early age and why he was willing to risk everything to start a charter service and bait shop. He also talks about the finer points of fishing the St. Clair River and why the depth and current can be a challenge for anglers. Pete then explains why his Polar Kraft Outlander is the perfect boat for his multi species trips.  

Shipwrecked and Rescued Larry Jorgensen https://shipwreckedandrescued.com/ ()Growing up in the 1970's in Marysville, Michigan, I used to watch the lake freighters travel up and down the St. Clair River all of the time. I remember one of the most fascinating ships to spot was the “Edmund Fitzgerald” at over 1000 feet in length.  It was immortalized by the song, “The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald” written by Gordon Lightfoot, after it encountered a severe Lake Superior winter storm in November 1975. My own personal experience of how fast a storm can roll in from Lake Superior occurred Mothers Day in 1973. Our family drove almost 12 hours up to property we owned on Lake Bailey in the Keweenaw Peninsula. It was spring and the weather was beautiful. But we awoke the next morning to two feet of snow and bitter cold! And NOBODY had cold weather clothing!  We were wearing shorts, T-shirts and flip flops!  Needless to say, we loaded up the car and headed home! I'm saying all this because our guest today has written a book titled, https://shipwreckedandrescued.com (“Shipwrecked and Rescued, Cars and Crew.”) It is about a famous event in Michigan history. A story of another shipping disaster on Lake Superior. Just so  you know, there have been over 10,000 ship wrecks in the Great Lakes, about 500 or more in Lake Superior and many of them still remain undiscovered due to the depth of the Lake. Buthttps://shipwreckedandrescued.com ( “Shipwrecked and Rescued, Cars and Crew”)  is about a wreck that had a good ending. A rescue. Not just a rescue of the crew, but also the cargo. A tragedy that turned to victory. But it was not an easy feat to achieve. Larry Jorgensen has been fascinated by the wreck of the ship called, “The City of Bangor.” This was not just a ship wreck. This was a double rescue success!  What is a double rescue success? Well, instead of me telling you about it, let's welcome to the program historian and author, Larry Jorgensen! Larry, thank you for taking the time to join us today! Larry, let's jump into the book. What first caught your attention about the wreck of the “City of  Bangor” and why? This wreck occurred before there was, truly, any significant use of radio, radar and things like that which we take for granted today, correct? Tell us about this wreck and what made the rescue so difficult and, at the same time, so significant… The crew was taken in by a generous family that took care of them during the winter. A local businessman, basically, “invented” the snowmobile” and it was successfully used in the rescue? Once the crew was safe, then came the second part of the rescue, correct? Tell us about that aspect of the rescue? It took the highway department three weeks to plow the road 40 miles to get the cars back from Copper Harbor. I just have to ask, do you speak “Yoopernese?” For those that don't understand, “Yoopernese” is the dialect, accent or whatever you want to call of northern Michiganders. It sounds something like, “yah, you dalk like dis when you live der, eh?” Growing up in the thumb area of Michigan, I was referred to as a “Troll” (that's what Yoopers call people from the lower peninsula because we live “under the bridge” – referring to, of course, the Mackinaw Bridge). Anyway, I could talk for hours about the UP (for those that don't know, that means the “Upper Peninsula”). Larry, this is awesome. I truly appreciate you sharing this story with us. How can someone obtain their own copy of https://shipwreckedandrescued.com (“Shipwrecked and Rescued, Cars and Crew?”)  Is it on Amazon? If someone wanted to get in touch with you, maybe to ask a question or do an interview such as this, how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you? I'll put links to all of this down in the show notes below. CONTACT INFORMATION: https://shipwreckedandrescued.com/ ()   Website:  https://shipwreckedandrescued.com/...

We've seen a rash of drownings in Michigan lately. Some of the most recent: a boyfriend and girlfriend drowned in Lake Michigan near South Haven and a man jumped into the St. Clair River to never be seen again. In a new Daily J, WWJ's Zach Clark looks at what's behind the danger and what can be done to prevent future tragedy. (PHOTO: Getty Images)

Bkejwanong means “where the waters part,” but the waters of St. Clair River are not a point of separation. The same waters that sustain life on and around Bkejwanong—formerly known as Walpole Island, Ontario—flow down into Chippewas of the Thames, the community to which author Monty McGahey II belongs. While there are no living fluent speakers of Anishinaabemowin in this community, McGahey has fostered relationships with fluent speakers from nearby Bkejwanong. Bkejwanong Dbaajmowinan is a collection of stories from these elders, who understand the vital importance of passing on the language to future generations in order to preserve the beloved language and legacy of the community. Like the waters of St. Clair River, the relationships between language speakers and learners have continued to nourish Anishinaabe communities in Bkejwanong and Chippewas of the Thames, particularly in language revitalization. With English translations, this resource is essential for Anishinaabemowin learners, teachers, linguists, and historians.Monty McGahey II is of Anishinaabe and Oneida descent and was raised in Chippewas of the Thames, where he currently works in language revitalization. He is a second-language speaker of Anishinaabemowin and holds a master's of professional education in Indigenous educational leadership from Western University in London, Ontario. Monty McGahey's Bkejwanong Dbaajmowinan/Stories of Where the Waters Divide is available at msupress.org and other fine booksellers. Monty and his wife have a podcast about the challenges of raising their kids in Anishinaabemowin called Enweying (Our Sound) which is available wherever you get your podcasts. You can connect with the press on Facebook and @msupress on Twitter, where you can also find me @kurtmilb.The MSU Press podcast is a joint production of MSU Press and the College of Arts & Letters at Michigan State University.

Listen Sister! – Finding Hope in the Freakshow of Life Tess Scott pt 2 https://amzn.to/3MyjBmQ () I was raised in Michigan, and my grandparents lived on the St. Clair River.

Listen Sister! – Finding Hope in the Freakshow of Life Tess Scott pt 1 https://amzn.to/3MyjBmQ ()I grew up outside of little town in Michigan called Marysville. This town, at the time, had about 4000 people in it. Our entire high school consisted of 713 people, all four grades. Our house was out in the country. There was a good ¼ mile between neighbors, except my great-grandmother and two uncles families that lived a couple hundred yards away. I spent many a day playing with my cousins. Since I was the oldest, playing with these “little kids” soon became boring and I learned how to entertain myself, playing out in the woods and things like that. I could even play an entire 9 inning baseball game, by myself, playing both sides – and sometimes lose to the “other me!” Anyway, my grandparents lived on the St. Clair River. Sometimes we would grab innertubes and they would take us several miles up the river and let us float down and across the mile wide river to Canada. Then we would catch the Ferry back (which just happened to be next door to my grandparents house)!

Help me welcome to the program, all the way from Blue Water Country, Tess Scott!  Tess, thank you joining us today! Now, let me do a quick disclaimer here before we get started.  We are not doing this on purpose, it's just the way we were raised. But whenever two red-blooded Canadian backgrounded people get together, you are probably going to hear a few “eh's” flying around! Ok!  It's kind of like the “y'all's” when people from down south are talking. It's just part of the normal conversation, ‘eh!” Tess, usually the first question I start with is this. Other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Tess Scott?” How did you come up with the idea for this https://amzn.to/3MyjBmQ (book)? It's definitely, I'll say, “Hilariously different!” Why this type of https://amzn.to/3MyjBmQ (book) for this point in your life? I wish I could quiz you on every single story in your https://amzn.to/3MyjBmQ (book). I just laughed all the way through! One story from your https://amzn.to/3MyjBmQ (book) where I really laughed at, and it was probably because of my law enforcement back ground, was where your brother came to visit, unannounced. Can you share that with our listeners? Another story that caught my attention, since I'm also a private pilot, was when your father promised to teach you how to be a pilot. Care to share? The stories of your father having you invite your friends of for a “Rock Party” and things like that, they reminded me of some the things I used to pull on my daughters when they were growing up!  They're priceless!

The Chatham-Kent Community Health Centres are expanding their team, an 18-year-old Tilbury man is facing an assault charge after he allegedly punched another man in the face several times at Memorial Park in Tilbury last night, and if you're making a trip to Port Lambton this summer, you may notice that the shoreline on the St. Clair River has been cleaned up a little bit.

Captain Pete of Hook One Bait and Tackle joins us to talk fishing the St. Clair River

We're talking open water fishing in the final hour with Pete Patsalis of Hook One Charters. Pete chases a variety of fish in the St. Clair River and Lake St. Clair. We wrap it all up with Chef Dave Minar. This time, Dave tells the story of how he got hooked on cooking.

The Tuskegee Airmen were the first African-American military aviators in American military history. They faced discrimination and segregation at home but in the skies of Europe, they became one of the most successful and feared fighter units as they escorted bombers on raids in Czechoslovakia, Austria, Hungary, Poland and Germany.As Dan discovers in this episode just becoming a Tuskegee Airmen was a dangerous business and several pilots were killed on training exercises in the USA. Two pilots went down over the waters of the Port Huron region during WWII. Flight Officer Nathaniel Rayburn died on Dec. 12, 1943, when he crashed into the St. Clair River near Algonac. Second Lt. Frank Moody died on April 11, 1944, when his plane crashed into Lake Huron. In this episode, we hear about a fascinating project to recover the wreckage of one of these downed planes and erect a memorial to honour those pilots who gave their lives whilst training to become Tuskegee Airmen. Dan speaks to Wayne Lusardi, State Underwater Archaeologist for Michigan and Erik Denson, Lead Instructor with Diving With a Purpose, about their important archaeological work.You will also hear from Col Harry Stewart Jr one of the last surviving Tuskegee airmen. They discuss his experiences of dogfights in the skies over Europe during World War Two, the discrimination he and his colleagues faced, the progress that he has seen in his lifetime and what it was like to get back into the cockpit of a P-51 Mustang after 70 years.

We're talking fishing, and the business of fishing, this time on the Polar Kraft Podcast with Pete Patsalis of Hook One Charters and Bait Shop. Pete is a young Charter Captain from Marine City Michigan who had a dream of making a living in the outdoors.  When a local retail spot opened up, he bought it and started a bait and tackle shop. Pete talks about the challenges of starting a business during the covid pandemic and why he's excited to grow the Hook One Franchise. We also discuss the diverse fishery of the St. Clair River, including walleye, perch, muskies, sturgeon....and even trout and salmon. Pete wraps up the discussion by talking about his Polar Kraft and plans to buy another one.
