​     Beginning Oct. 1, 2020, Michigan residents boarding a domestic flight or entering certain federal facilities, military bases and nuclear power plants must show a REAL ID-compliant document. The federal standards known as REAL ID were drafted in response to the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks based on recommendations from the 9/11 Commission. REAL ID sets document and security protocols for the production of driver’s licenses and ID cards, including the use of features to prevent illegal copying or altering.
     If the convenience of carrying a license or ID that meets all requirements for boarding a plane for domestic travel appeals to you, then a REAL ID-compliant license or ID is the right choice for you.
     If you have an enhanced driver’s license or enhanced state ID card, you already have a REAL ID-compliant card. If you don’t have an enhanced card, please continue reading. Michigan Residents: Take your Michigan license or ID card and proof of your Social Security number and citizenship or legal presence to a Secretary of State office. You may apply for a REAL ID-compliant license or ID card at any time. Or you can wait until it’s time to renew. Your renewal notice will state whether or not your license or ID is REAL ID compliant if there is any question about it.
    All Applicants: Your photograph will be taken at the branch office and the appropriate driver’s license or ID card fees will be due. There is no additional fee for obtaining a REAL ID-compliant license or ID card.  Name Changes: If your name is different than what is shown on your birth certificate, you will need to provide evidence of a legal name change, such as a marriage certificate, divorce decree or court action.  
      If your driver’s license or state ID card is not REAL ID compliant, you may show another form of acceptable documentation, such as a valid U.S. passport or passport card.

Thanks to all of you who supported our Pig Roast.  Hope you enjoyed your meal.

Things like the dinners help Keep these Beautiful Fireworks Going!

The fireworks were once again a "hit"!!!

At the start of the fireworks, there were over 85 boats vying for the best place to anchor.  But whether you were on a boat, sitting watching from a car or dock, or even enjoying the fun at the park itself, no one was disappointed.

Christmas in July was the theme for this year's parade.  Fun at the park was the theme for the after parade activities.  (and who can pass up the bottle caps or the Chicken s... games?)

Found floating in lake.. from someone’s lift? Call JoAnn at 323-6380 to claim.

Van Riper has opened a water park.  Check below for pricing.

Reminder that you need a recreational passport for entry into the park.   Age limits are on the Water Warrior feature.

Many of you already know Joe Perry.  He is looking for your help!

Picture
​Hello! My name is Joe Perry and I have recently taken over as Fire Chief for our department. I have served on our department and the responder team for the past 26 years. We need your help. Both the Fire Department and responder team are low on membership. Both require training and certification. Both require compassion and dedication. If you, or someone you know are interested in joining either please let me know. Thank you!

As Janice Anderson mentions, "They really need people on the First Responders too. The time may be approaching when someone having a health crisis may find there is nobody to assist them."  If you can help in any way, now is the time.  
Michigamme EMS & Fire department are in DIRE NEED of volunteers!
Please ask if there is anything you can do to help our community.
