Our guest for this week is Sara Olson. Sara (her TikTok name is SKEEETAH) is from the Wolf River area of Wisconsin which just happens to hold the highest concentration of the fungus that causes Blastomycosis. When Sara got Blastomycosis in January 2024, she thought it was 'just the flu'. With a chest xray, she was diagnosed with pneumonia. Several rounds of antibiotics didn't help so she did a CT scan where they found an embolism. Still not knowing anything else, they continued treating her for bacterial pneumonia. They did a swab of her sputum in which her health providers found no bacterial growth, but there was fungal growth. "For some reason they didn't do fungal testing" she was admitted, released and readmitted all the while she was being treated for bacterial pneumonia. The final hospitalization had her O2 levels drop to 30 and she was intubated, her family was called to come and say their goodbyes... You'll have to listen to the interview to learn more. She is lucky to be alive! Blastomycosis is a fungal infection and was linked to the Little Wolf River in Waupaca County, Wisconsin, during a summer 2015 outbreak. People who went tubing on the river were exposed to the fungus, with 59 confirmed and 39 probable cases reported according to the Wisconsin Department of Health Services (W-DHS). The fungus, Blastomyces, lives in soil and decaying organic matter, and its spores can become airborne when disturbed. Inhaling these spores can cause blastomycosis, a disease primarily affecting the lungs, though it can spread to other parts of the body. While most blastomycosis cases are sporadic, this outbreak highlighted the need for awareness about this preventable cause of illness. Key Details about the Outbreak: Cause: The outbreak was attributed to the fungus Blastomyces, which is commonly found in soil and decaying matter. Exposure: People who participated in river tubing on the Little Wolf River were exposed to the fungus. Symptoms: Blastomycosis can cause flu-like symptoms, such as fever, cough, muscle aches, and fatigue, but it can also lead to serious health problems if not treated. Transmission: The infection is not spread from person to person. Treatment: Blastomycosis can be treated with antifungal medications. Outbreak Scale: This outbreak was one of the largest in recent Wisconsin history, with 59 confirmed and 39 probable cases. Prevention: Awareness of the potential for infection is key, especially in areas where the fungus is known to be present. Additional Information: Endemic Area: Blastomycosis is endemic in the Ohio and Mississippi River valleys, the Great Lakes region, and the southeastern United States according to the CDC. Symptoms: Common symptoms include cough, fever, chest pain, fatigue, and skin sores. Risk Factors: Individuals with weakened immune systems or chronic illnesses may be more susceptible to severe illness. Not Limited to the Wolf River: While the Little Wolf River outbreak was significant, blastomycosis can occur in other areas with suitable environmental conditions. Blastomyces lives in moist soil in parts of North America. It's too small to see, so you can breathe it into your lungs without knowing it. There, it can grow and make you sick. It sometimes spreads to your skin or other parts of your body. It's hard to avoid breathing in Blastomyces fungus if you live in an area where it's common. While not entirely preventable, there are some steps you can take to reduce your risk of blastomycosis: Avoid disturbing large areas of dirt and dust, especially in areas near water. If your job or hobbies expose you to soil that's likely to contain Blastomyces, wear an N95 (or KN95) respirator mask to help filter the air you breathe.

Originally uploaded April 11th, reloaded June 29th. Chris Holman welcomes Phil Roos, Director, EGLE - at EGLE (Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy - State of Michigan, Lansing, MI. Every year, EGLE releases an end-of-year report. Are there any milestones or initiatives you're particularly proud of that were included in this year's report? Brownfield redevelopment was highlighted in the report. Could you explain what the Brownfield Redevelopment Program is and its significance for communities across Michigan? What kind of measurable impact has the program had on Michigan's economy, environment and quality of life? The governor recently released her FY 26 budget recommendations. How do her recommendations support brownfield redevelopment as well as environmental sustainability and economic development? Contaminated and abandoned sites once seen as community liabilities are now thriving hubs of economic growth and revitalization across Michigan. Since 2019, the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy's (EGLE) Brownfield Redevelopment Program has helped create 19,000 jobs, transforming 402 properties into vibrant spaces for businesses, housing and public use. Backed by more than $160 million in investments, this program is a testament to Michigan's leadership in responsible economic development—combining environmental stewardship with community renewal. These projects not only create jobs but also breathe new life into neighborhoods, turning challenges into opportunities for growth. The 2024 EGLE End of Year Report highlights this success and more, highlighting the program's transformative impact. chrome-extension://efaidnbmnnnibpcajpcglclefindmkaj/https://www.michigan.gov/egle/-/media/Project/Websites/egle/Documents/Offices/Executive/Report-2024-EOY.pdf?rev=0b2bcfee775544d7a4e3b5ff44a164e5&hash=8F96B8E9929BE5C9A93383F6F2CA1D3E » Visit MBN website: www.michiganbusinessnetwork.com/ » Subscribe to MBN's YouTube: www.youtube.com/@MichiganbusinessnetworkMBN » Like MBN: www.facebook.com/mibiznetwork » Follow MBN: twitter.com/MIBizNetwork/ » MBN Instagram: www.instagram.com/mibiznetwork/

The Pittsburgh, Bessemer & Lake Erie Railroad Company was founded in 1897 by Andrew Carnegie to haul iron ore and other products from the port at Conneaut, Ohio on the Great Lakes to Carnegie Steel Company plants in Pittsburgh and the surrounding region. At the end of 1925 B&LE operated 228 miles of road on 631 miles of track; at the end of 1970, mileages were 220 and 489. Enter our next guest who's carefully modeling the B&LE in the early 50's. Ray Brown has worked all over the United States and finally settled just west of Erie, Pennsylvania for two reasons: To experience as much snow fall as possible and to faithfully recreate the Bessemer and Lake Erie in a fifty by thirty-foot basement on a double and triple deck layout. Introduced to us by our in-house medical staff of one, (Mike Hauk) Ray's story is a great listen and one we're sure you'll enjoy!!

There are monsters in the Great Lakes. Big ones. Ugly ones. Some with teeth like piano keys and humps like bad debts—lurching through the muck beneath your boat while you sip lemonade and pretend civilization is in control. From the icy, copper-veined depths of Lake Superior to the oddly hostile waters of Erie, the Great Lakes are lousy with local legends and long-bodied beasts that should not exist, but very well may. In this episode, the Hosts plunge headfirst into a boiling stew of cryptid lore, eyewitness accounts, Native legends, and 19th-century newspaper ramblings that blur the line between genuine horror and mad ravings. You'll meet a rotating cast of lake-dwelling weirdos that range from seductive water nymphs to glowing tentacled horrors. It's an all-American nightmare brewed fresh from the heartland. Citizens of the Milky Way, prepare yourselves for Sea Monsters of the Great Lakes!

It's always fun to talk to someone from the Strangite Church, officially known as the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (Strangite) Based in Burlington, Wisconsin, this branch of the Latter-day Saint movement offers a distinctive perspective on the succession of Joseph Smith and the ongoing divine restoration. https://youtu.be/RUL8rF0hb4U Strangite Genesis in Voree The current headquarters of the Strangite Church is Burlington, Wisconsin. Interestingly, the area holds historical significance with multiple names. It was originally called Foxville. While today it's known as Burlington, a specific area on the west side of town where the Mormon settlement was located was called Voree by the early Strangites, a name associated with the significant "Voree record". James J. Strang led his followers to this location, believing God had instructed them to move from Nauvoo. James Strang was dispatched to the Burlington area by Joseph Smith, having been baptized and made an elder by Smith himself. Strang wrote back to Joseph Smith, suggesting Voree would be a "wonderful place for a gathering" due to its rich resources like fish, fresh water, great farmland, and good soil near the Great Lakes. Initially, Joseph Smith was hesitant, but after discussion with Hyrum Smith and a subsequent spiritual revelation, he concluded that Voree was indeed a good place for the Saints. James J. Strang: Joseph Smith's Chosen Successor? The Strangite Church believes that James J. Strang was divinely appointed as Joseph Smith's successor. This belief is rooted in two pivotal events: The Letter of Appointment: Joseph Smith penned a letter to James A. Strang, officially appointing him as his successor. This original letter is now preserved at Yale University in the Beineke Library, with copies available for members. The Angelic Ordination: On the very day Joseph Smith was assassinated, June 27, 1844, angels appeared to James J. Strang and ordained him a prophet. These were believed to be the same angels who ordained Joseph Smith – Peter, James, and John. Strang was aware of Joseph's death through this angelic visitation even before news arrived from Nauvoo. Furthermore, it's believed that Jesus also anointed Strang as the King of Israel for the gentile dispensation, an ordination attributed to his lineage from the royal line of King David. Sacred Texts and Prophetic Interpretations The Strangite Church embraces a unique canon of scripture beyond what is common in other Latter-day Saint traditions: The Voree Plates: These ancient plates were revealed to James Strang through a vision from the angel Moroni, known as the Hill of Promise. Strang gathered leading citizens to witness their excavation from beneath a tree, about four feet down, where roots had grown around them. The plates, housed in an earthen case, crumbled upon exposure to air due to their age. Witnesses, including a newspaper reporter from Kenosha, confirmed the ancient nature of the record and that the site had been undisturbed. Strang translated them using the Urim and Thummim given to him by the angel Moroni, much like Joseph Smith used the Urim and Thummim to translate the Book of Mormon. The Voree Plates provide a brief history of a people who were "no more" and, most notably, contained a pictorial drawing depicting the true structure of the priesthood, including the prophet lawgiver, two viceroys, twelve apostles, high priests, and seventies. These plates were translated around 1844. The Book of the Law: This significant text is believed to be the "stick of Judah" spoken of in Ezekiel 37. According to Strangite belief, Joseph Smith translated the Book of Mormon (the stick of Ephraim), but was instructed not to touch the sealed record, which was the Book of the Law, meant for a future prophet. James J. Strang, being of the tribe of Judah with Jewish ancestry, translated the Book of the Law after receiving the plates of Laban from the angel Moroni.

We're heading to the smaller, inland lakes this time on the Off Shore Tackle podcast with Nick Dood of Reel Live Action Charters. Nick talks about inland fishing versus the Great Lakes, how he uses Off Shore Tadpoles for depth control, why boat traffic can be a factor and his choice for inline planer boards (the OR 12 with tattle flags). The Charter Captain and tournament angler also describes the difference between those two activites and why he finds inland fishing more relaxing than big water options.
"If you didn't grow it, you've got to mine it,” says John Jaszczak, Director and Curator of the A. E. Seaman Mineral Museum in Houghton, Michigan. Since 1838--just after Michigan became a state--geologists and miners have been collecting rock and mineral specimens as the first American Mining Rush began. Since 1855, those specimens were housed at Michigan Technological University, then known as Michigan College of Mines, making it one of the oldest museums not only in Michigan, but the Great Lakes region. In this episode of the Lake Superior Podcast, Walt Lindala and Frida Waara talk with John about the museum origins and what a visitor can find there.Key Takeaways + Notable Quotes: The region's history—from Indigenous use to mining booms to today's tourism—stems from its globally unique native copper deposit.“The reason we're here is because of the geology. And because of copper in particular.” What began as a teaching collection for Michigan Tech's School of Mines became a public museum in 1902.“The collection started in 1885 when the university started offering courses in mineralogy.”From discovery tales to global expeditions, the museum presents minerals as more than geology.“Some specimens have scientific stories. Some have personal stories. Some have adventure stories.”Under ultraviolet light, otherwise ordinary-looking minerals burst into color.“That's the part where most people say, ‘Wow, I didn't expect this.'”John's lifelong fascination with minerals led him to volunteer, then direct, the museum alongside his career in physics.“I started collecting minerals when I was probably five or six years old... and I just loved it.”From working with scientists around the world to publishing in mineralogical journals, the museum plays an active role in global discovery.“There's something magical about being the first to describe and name something.”The Keweenaw's native copper is on display in museum-quality form that you can't find anywhere else.“We have the world's best specimens of copper. No question about it.”Resources:Visit the A.E.

We sit down with curator Rachel Adams to talk about institutional evolution, artists as infrastructure, and how curatorial practice shifts between museums and biennials. Rachel reflects on working with artists like Cauleen Smith, Liz Magic Laser, and Beatriz Santiago Muñoz, the power of slow curation, and why she's drawn to hybrid spaces that defy the market. Along the way: phantom titles, artist contracts, Minneapolis moments, and a manifesto in a box of ice cream bars.

Shetan wasn't just a guest on our show—she was family to the paranormal community and someone who left an incredible mark on everyone who knew her. Shetan was a prolific author, investigator, researcher, and lecturer who specialized in cryptozoology, lake monsters, and the strange and unexplained across the Midwest and beyond. She authored multiple books, delving into Great Lakes water monsters, cryptid creatures, and haunted places, always bringing her trademark curiosity and scholarly rigor to every topic she explored. But even more than her impressive resume, Shetan was a truly warm and generous soul. She was known for helping other investigators, supporting local paranormal teams, and sharing her knowledge freely. She had a way of making everyone feel welcome in the often-murky world of the paranormal. Her sharp wit, infectious laugh, and remarkable storytelling ability made her an absolute delight to talk to—on the air and off. In this episode, we take time to share our personal memories of Shetan—our favorite moments from recording with her, the things we learned from her, and the way she made even the creepiest stories fun and accessible. We reflect on her incredible dedication to the truth behind strange phenomena, her insistence on good research, and her passion for shining light on topics others might overlook or dismiss. To honor her memory and celebrate her legacy, we're also replaying our full interview with Shetan from last year. In that conversation, she talked about her work on Great Lakes monsters and cryptids, shared fascinating tales of strange sightings, and offered insights into the methods and challenges of being a field researcher in this niche. It's a chance to hear her in her own words, doing what she loved most: teaching, entertaining, and exploring the mysteries of our world. Shetan Noir leaves behind not only her published works and countless investigations but a community that's better for having known her. She inspired so many people to ask questions, to look beyond the obvious, and to respect the weird and wonderful. She was a mentor, a friend, and a force of nature who will be missed terribly. We invite all of you to listen in this week, to remember Shetan with us, to celebrate the incredible life she led, and to keep her passion for the unexplained alive. Her work and spirit will live on in every curious mind she touched. Rest in peace, Shetan. Thank you for everything. You will always be part of our paranormal family.

Swimmer's itch is a rash you can get from swimming in lakes, so researchers working in the Great Lakes have tried to eradicate it by treating ducks that carry the parasite that causes it. Nothing has worked, and people have started thinking about the problem of swimmer's itch differently. It has been five years since a Pennsylvania grand jury report slammed state regulators for not protecting residents from the impacts of fracking. Advocates want Governor Josh Shapiro to do more. Environmental groups will soon be canvassing Southwestern Pennsylvania on foot, by car, and by drone in an effort to find abandoned oil and gas wells.

At the same time, MAGA Republicans in Congress are providing major subsidies for the coal & oil industry. This won't just harm Americans on a public health and environmental front, this will destroy jobs and our nation's economy. Even more, thanks in part to my MAGA Republican Congressman John Moolenaar, Republicans are handing China a big economic victory while hurting America. 17:24-36:21: MAGA Murder Budget Is Pro-Oligarchy Pat shows how Michigan MAGA Republicans in the State House failed to pass a budget by the July 1 deadline. Like Congressional Republicans, Michigan Republicans are trying to steal from the working class safety net, and funnel money up towards their rich & elite donor base. Pat highlights how the MAGA Murder Budget attacks Medicaid, and how Republican arguments for work requirements is another way to humiliate the working class. 36:22-46:01: Last Call-Sen.Slotkin's "Economic War Plan" Review In the "Last Call," Pat gives a review of Michigan Democratic Senator Elissa Slotkin's "Economic War Plan."

With years of experience investigating some of Michigan's most haunted sites, Dan brings a wealth of knowledge, compelling stories, and chilling evidence gathered from the field. Whether you're a seasoned investigator or simply curious about what goes bump in the night, this episode is packed with firsthand accounts, eerie encounters, and the behind-the-scenes truth about what it's like to explore the spirit world. Southern Michigan Paranormals is one of the most respected investigative teams in the Midwest, known for their methodical approach, dedication to evidence-based research, and willingness to explore locations that many others wouldn't dare enter. Dan shares his journey into the paranormal — what sparked his interest, how his team came together, and some of the strangest cases they've tackled. From abandoned asylums to private homes plagued by unexplainable activity, the team has faced it all. Dan explains how they use a mix of traditional ghost-hunting tools like EMF meters, digital recorders, and thermal cameras, along with intuitive investigation techniques and historical research to uncover the truth behind reported hauntings. In this episode, Dan recounts a recent investigation where his team captured Class A EVPs (Electronic Voice Phenomena) and full-body apparitions at a location with a dark past tied to tragedy and unrest. We discuss how fear and energy can linger in spaces, why certain buildings seem to attract supernatural activity, and how different spirits communicate. Dan also opens up about the personal toll and emotional experiences that come with this line of work. Not every spirit is friendly, and not every case ends with answers. Sometimes, just walking into a location can trigger intense feelings, headaches, or emotional shifts — something Dan and his team have experienced repeatedly. We also explore the differences between residual and intelligent hauntings, why some spirits may be trying to deliver a message, and how investigators determine if a haunting is genuine or caused by environmental or psychological factors. Dan offers insight into what homeowners should do if they believe their home is haunted, and he shares some advice for those looking to get into the field of paranormal research. One of the most compelling parts of this conversation is hearing about the camaraderie within the Southern Michigan Paranormals team. Dan talks about how trust and respect are crucial when exploring dangerous, decaying buildings or dealing with potentially malevolent forces. The paranormal isn't just about ghost stories — it's about teamwork, dedication, and maintaining a healthy level of skepticism while remaining open to possibilities. This week's episode is not only packed with spooky tales but also offers a grounded and respectful look at the field of paranormal investigation. Whether you're tuning in for the thrills or to learn more about the methodology behind ghost hunting, Dan's stories and insights will leave you questioning what really happens after we leave this world.

In 1682, Robert de La Salle embarked on an expedition to navigate the Mississippi River from its northern source near the Great Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico. During this expedition, La Salle and his party constructed a small fort along the Big Muddy called Fort Prud'homme in West Tennessee. Thereafter, he ultimately reached the mouth of the Mississippi, where he formally claimed the vast River Valley territory for France, naming it La Louisiane or Louisiana, in honor of Saint Louis and King Louis the Fourteenth. La Salle also encountered various Native American tribes along his journey, including the Natchez, whose contentious relationship with the French over the ensuing decades led to a dramatic climax in 1729; highlighting the complex interactions between European adventurers and Native American populations during this period of exploration and colonization.
