Consumers Energy’s Reliability Roadmap: Power Restored to Nearly 90% of Customers in Less Than 24 Hours in 2023
Electric Grid Upgrades Shorten Outages; More Work on the Way This Year
Consumers Energy announced that nearly 9 in 10 customers who lost power in 2023 were restored in less than 24 hours -- the result of the company’s major upgrades to strengthen Michigan’s electric grid.
Michigan’s largest energy provider last year unveiled its Reliability Roadmap – a long-term commitment to improve reliability and restore all customers in less than 24 hours, even after severe storms.
Consumers Energy put that plan into action, reducing the length of the average customer outage last year during normal weather to 176 minutes, a 20-minute improvement over the average for the previous five years. The work includes system upgrades, increased tree trimming, substation enhancements, and new technology.

Char-Em ISD receives grant for supporting
social and emotional needs of indigenous local youth and English Language Learners
CHARLEVOIX - When the Charlevoix County Community Foundation’s Youth Advisory Council conducted a survey of more than 800 local students in grades 7-12 about their biggest concerns, the results showed a desire to increase acceptance and belonging and to reduce school-related stress.
In an effort to help support vulnerable student populations throughout Charlevoix-Emmet Intermediate School District - in particular indigenous youth and English Language Learners (ELL) - the YAC awarded $6,250 to the ISD to fund “Indigenous and ELL Comfort Kits.”
“These kits will include cultural materials supplied by a generous gift from the Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians Behavioral Health Department,” said Alicia Schlehuber, Char-Em ISD Behavioral Health Coordinator, who applied for the grant on the ISD’s behalf. “We will collaborate with a cultural advisor in the use of and implementation of the kits.”
The cultural materials will be supplemented with totes, native-themed coloring books, color pencils, yoga cards, stuffed animals and books – all of which provide culturally significant and related tools and resources to help connect students to their culture, Schlehuber added.
Deleta Smith, Cultural Coordinator for the LTBB Health Department, explained that the kits will contain some medicines used in traditional Anishnaabek practices, including sweet grass, cedar and sage for particular purposes.
“Wiingushk, sweet grass, is life in its purest form. Wiingushk is representative of the hair of our Mother Earth. When braided, it symbolizes strength bringing together the mind, body, and spirit. Just like our own mother, it brings gentleness, love, and kindness,” Smith said. “Cedar is used to cleanse and purify oneself both internally and physically. Sage is used to prepare for ceremony and is said to be the strongest of the medicines as indicated by its strong scent. These medicines are living beings and are given freely to all people to enhance and help sustain every-day lives.”

Keep Measles Out of Northwest Michigan
Vaccine has proven to keep outbreaks at bay
Measles is on the rise, and it’s making the news. But unlike some diseases, measles is preventable.
The increase in cases being discovered in the United States is attributed to 1) an increase in the number of travelers who get measles abroad and bring it into the U.S., and 2) further spread of measles in U.S. communities in pockets of unvaccinated people.
As of January 25, there have been nine measles cases reported in four states this year: Georgia, Missouri, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control. In 2023, there were 58 total cases reported in 19 states and Washington, D.C.
“Measles only becomes a problem in communities which are not highly vaccinated against the disease,” says Dr. Joshua Meyerson, Health Department of Northwest Michigan Medical Director. “We are reminding residents to take advantage of this safe and effective vaccine. Getting two doses provides 97% protection against measles for life.”
The measles vaccine, often called MMR because it also protects against rubella and mumps, provides significant protection again all strains of measles and greatly reduces the risk of complications. Since widespread use of the vaccine in the U.S., the number of people with measles has decreased by more than 99%. The MMR Vaccine is routinely recommended for all children starting after age one with a second dose given when they’re 4-6 years old.
Facts About Measles
Measles:
- Causes a red, blotchy rash, fever, dry cough, inflamed eyes, and more.
- Is primarily a childhood disease caused by a virus but can infect adults too.
- Spreads easily when an infected person coughs or sneezes.
- Can almost always be prevented with a vaccine.
- Can be serious and even fatal for small children.
- Kills more than 200,000 a year, mostly children.
Vaccine hesitancy is responsible for measles outbreaks in countries where measles had previously been eliminated and is one of the 10 threats to global public health identified by the World Health Organization (WHO), according to the National Library of Medicine.
“Vaccine hesitancy increased during COVID-19, but regardless of how people feel about the COVID-19 vaccine, we cannot afford to discount the benefits of long-proven vaccines like MMR,” says Dr. Meyerson. “Let’s keep ourselves and our neighbors safe from preventable disease.”

Jobs for Michigan’s Graduates regional program receives state ‘Excellence in Practice’ Award
Char-Em ISD, Northwest Ed, Wexford-Missaukee ISD, Networks Northwest, partner to help students succeed in and after high school
CHARLEVOIX - A Northwest Michigan regional program in local schools that prioritizes career and college readiness activities with middle and high school students earned a state-level award of excellence at the Michigan Career Education Annual Conference Jan. 29, 2024.
The Jobs for Michigan’s Graduates (JMG) Region 2 program was awarded an “Excellence in Practice” award for its efforts to pair JMG specialists with students to equip them with knowledge and skills to overcome obstacles and achieve long-term success.
JMG Region 2 includes Char-Em Intermediate School District Career and Technical Education Department, Northwest Ed Career Tech Center, and the Wexford-Missaukee Career Tech Center.
Jim Rummer, Director of Career and Technical Education for Char-Em ISD, said the program’s curriculum has proven to be highly effective, resulting in an impressive 99% graduation rate. He said the success is attributed to the emphasis on fostering connections with the community, post-secondary institutions, along with business and industry partners, while providing continuous support to students throughout their high school career and beyond.
“We are grateful for the collaboration with our partner agencies and regional ISDs in achieving the distinguished Excellence in Practice Award,” said Rummer. “It wouldn’t be possible without our boots-on-the-ground JMG staff members working with students every school day throughout Northwest Michigan.”
Jobs for Michigan’s Graduates (JMG) is the Michigan affiliate of the national Jobs for America’s Graduates (JAG) network, one of the largest and most successful student-centered programs that help young people achieve their fullest potential in education and employment. The regional program is overseen by Northwest Michigan Works!, a program of Networks Northwest.
Each model across grade levels has curriculum/competencies that build to the next in order to help continued student growth and success, explained Susan Ward, Youth Services Regional Director for Networks Northwest.
Ward said there are approximately 675 students directly involved with JMG staff in regional middle and high schools, including alternative education settings. The regional program has been recognized for meeting or exceeding program metrics for 7 years in a row, including graduation rate, employment rate, positive outcome rate, connectivity rate, and further education rate. Several JMG specialists from the region have also been individually awarded over the past year for their efforts with students.
"I am proud of the work our JMG specialists do every day to serve students and am thankful to work with such supportive school partners,” said Ward.
All students are welcome to participate in JMG once they have completed the application process and receive permission from their parents or guardians. Once in the program, students are assigned a JMG specialist to assist them in the program and provide supportive services that fit each student's individual needs. Services may include transportation assistance (gas cards), supplying them with work clothing, tools and other equipment, connecting them to community resources, and helping students advocate for themselves.
“For many students, the JMG specialist also serves as a role model and someone the student can build a relationship with and also receive support,” said Rummer. “All of these services and the relationship with the JMG specialist are designed to help break down barriers.”
About JMG and Youth Solutions: Northwest Michigan Works! is proud to partner with Jobs for Michigan’s Graduates (JMG) in serving the region’s youth. JMG is the leading program of Youth Solutions, Inc., a premier youth opportunity organization on a mission to equip young people with the skills to overcome barriers and win in education, employment, and in life. The JMG program consists of a comprehensive set of services designed to help young people achieve education and career goals. The purpose of this program is to inspire and connect youth to achieve a future beyond imagination.

This big ole baby is George. George came to us as a stray and instantly stole everyone's heart. We are guessing George is about a year old and already about 80 pounds. George's personality is just as big as his size. This gentle goofball loves to flop into laps and adores any and all attention. We think George is likely housetrained and would do well with older kids (simply because of his size). George doesn't seem to mind the other dogs here and we think he would do alright with cats.
