For what we have

My husband and I spent the past weekend in East Lansing with our daughter, who recently started a job with Michigan State University Extension.

Dropping by

Jim Briese of West Branch stopped by the Herald office last week with some photographs taken last spring but just recently developed.

Remembering

Historical note: On July 15, 1918, the 38th Infantry Regiment of the 3rd Infantry Division successfully defended its position on the Paris-Metz Railroad, 200 yards from the River Marne, against six German attacks.

Removing the dam

Sanback Dam was one of 16 Michigan dams to receive funding through the Dam Risk Reduction Grant Program authorized by the Michigan Legislature last year.

Chicken scratch

Editor’s note: The newspaper you are reading now is one of a group of three: Arenac County Independent, Ogemaw County Herald and Oscoda County Herald.I’ve been living near Rose City for five years; in the mid-eighties I lived in West Branch for about the same amount of time, so I have new as well as decades-old memories of Ogemaw County.
